Its Muscadine season in the neighborhood and I'm thinking of making my first ever wine from grapes.
Just to get my feet wet, I'm going to start small. My initial batch will be for three gallons.
Problem: Got nothing to squeeze the grapes with, so I need a couple suggestions.
1. The simplest and cheapest way to go is the low tech 4X4. Wrap the base with plastic sheet and smack them grapes.
2. Would be the bucket in a bucket method. A bit higher tech and a few more bucks. Also some assembly required. Seems messy.
3. The high tech and completely gorgeous Lowes squeezer mop bucket. Industrial size and about 46 bucks. Wonder how it holds up.
Please let me know which method that worked best for you or if you might have found a better way.
Your help as always, is much appreciated.
