Hi everyone,
I am expecting my first batch of whole grapes (cab. sauv.) any day know. I have help with the crushing, but I am going to be pressing solo on a borrowed basket press. I have not even seen it yet and it has not been used in years. What should I look for to make sure it is functional, and clean? Should I wash it first? With what?
It was bought off an old Italian man who always made his own wine, but was getting too old...My friend bought it and has been storing it in a warehouse.
I can't wait to jump into this new endeavor. I have only made wine from juice and a kit.
Thanks in advance.
