Is this still for sale?

Hello is the c/d still for sale?

I don’t use the spigot. I use the free run mesh tube available at all in one wine pump and the pump to siphon out free run before I press

All good points brought up here I will keep you posted as time goes on and I do some racking and Tasting post MLF.
