Hey gang. I'm about to purchase my first fruit press. I'm looking at a 14L press with the lead screw tilt out design with stainless steel basket. I like this one because I plan to do fruit wines as well as grape wines. It looks like it should do the both jobs for me just fine.
I can get the fruit crusher to go along with the press for a combo type setup so the question I have is... Can I use the hand crank style fruit crusher for grapes as well? Or am I better off looking for a standalone grape crusher/destemmer for when I make wine from the grapes? How important is a fruit grinder in other fruit wines that aren't from grapes?
This will be my first real foray into making wine from fresh fruit and grapes since I've worked with kits for the last several years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated here.
