Juice machine for wine

[CaptKarl]

Has any one every tried making wine from the juice of a juice machine?

 

[Tom]

I have and I'm not thrilled. If you plan on buying one then look into a steam juicer

I would think with a juicer you'd get too much of the grape skin mixed in with the juice. You mainly want the juice only and maybe let it rest on the skins awhile.

What kind are you thinking of making?

About 3 weeks ago I juiced 20# of apples and pears I saved the skins and put them in a mesh bag while in the primary. I racked the wine over about a week ago and it clearing nicely. I had heard from a local wine supply store that this process never works but so far so good.

A friend of mine got one of those last year and it is amazing. Its a little pricey but the wine she made from her cherries was awesome!!!!!!!!!

How does that work? Do you steam and then squeeze the fruit?
Or do you just put in a bag and throw in fermenter then press at racking?

Here is what a steam juicer looks like. It steams the fruit and extracts all the juice. no pressing needed

This is the one I was looking at. I need to break down and just order the thing. I'm sure I would get a great deal of use out of it. Especially since I just bout 32 lbs of strawberries.

I figure since I've been scoping out elderberries and I'll have to make a fpac for my Strawberry Delight in a few months I may be a good idea. We may even try making jelly and canning. Who knows. Ordered the one I previously linked to on Amazon, it was $79 with free shipping for a stainless steel one.

 

[Tom]

Remember to check the water level in the pot

I use a standard juicer for apples and pears when I make cider, never have any problems with it not clearing either.
