Fruit press

Would it be an advantage to use a fruit press to extract the juice from fruit / berries to make the wine? Or is it better to just crush the fruit? Regards Mike


Mike;

depends on the fruit. you want to extract juice, but color and some flavor also comes from the pulp and skin. Hard fruits like apples, crabapples. cranberries work better there. My brother runs wild grapes thru his juicer to extract out the larges seeds, etc. Let us know what fruit you want to work on.

I do not have any idea yet. I have come across a small fruit crusher so thought I might make some wine with it but not sure what to crush. Grapes is the norm, but what else would benifit from it's use?

Could you elaborate on this juicing grapes? I had thought of the idea but rejected it as I thought it would break a lot of seeds and release more tanin.
