Homemade Wine Press

I can email you a set of plans. Use the address in your headers?

I'll bet a lot of people would be interested, I sure am, would you mind posting those plans to the group?

This isn't a binaries group so I will not post graphics. Instead I will place a PDF on my webpage.

Be warned it's a hefty download.

I've also been looking for such a project... Thanks!

You can email the plans to snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com Thanks

You should change the people you host with (or at least your advertisers).

I didn't really want the spyware and I am happy with my wife and p***s size!

I downloaded the plans and have been studying them this morning, thinking perhaps to build a press over the holidays.

I've never used a press, so I don't mind showing my ignorance by asking for more info on how the press is actually used -- for example, what's the purpose of the cheese forms? Does one place fruit in a cheese form and press? Would I stack cheese forms and slat racks in the press?

Thanks for the info...

Bart

The square cheese form is used to build the bags containing the pulp to pressed. You place it in the press and loosely place the cloth over the form and fill it with pulp then fold the cloth ends over top the pulp. Remove the form and place one of the lattice pieces on top. Repeat. When you get to the top you use the plywood section instead of another lattice. You will then have 4-5 5" high bags of pulp to be pressed.You can press faster with shallower layers than one large block of pulp.

The cloths could be any tough fabric like duck, burlap, nylon, etc.

Have you done a spyware detection?

The ads you're seeing aren't generated as part of the tripod hosting. The top of the page is text only ads and are for home gardening. The bottom is gif banner and is monster.ca for the most part. Neither of which is code added by it's imposed by the host who happens to have an antispam/no adult content.

OK, that's sorta what I thought.... thanks!

Thanks J F,

If I'm not mistaken, this was intended to press apples for cider. In fact I have tried, and failed, to find this very set of cider press plans before. I've wondered how well a wine press would handle apples or how a cider press would handle grapes. Do you find that the cheeses improve extraction from grapes over a traditional wine press? Do they make it more inconvenient?

Erroll,

I used an "antique" cider mill to make wine for years, and it was fine. The crusher was set a little wide for grapes, I thought, but it had a standard wood slat basket. My friend still uses it for both wine & cider.

Apples are very pulpy by comparison with grapes so the multiple smaller forms are used to speed of up the pressing of apples. Grapes could work with a taller form and press just as well. When I press the apples I have them milled to about pea size before pressing. Larger chunks are much harder to work with and any smaller and the seeds tend to be pulverized .

Yeah, I run adaware. Nothing at all.

Hey ho

That's not enough, try running Spybot and CWShred which will get everything Adaware misses.

Better yet send me the code of the page you're viewing.

Here's a good one for you.

which then tries to get you to download http://64.156.31.79/100039/uk/ringtone/ringtone.exe and http://64.156.31.79/100039/uk/ringtone/Xringtone.exe which obviously I wouldn't take the risk of downloading. (I can't stand that bl**dy crazy frog sound!!)

Coming from the JavaScript pop-up that tripod adds to your page:-

setAdGroup('83.100.152.5');

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded"

var objAdMgr = new AdManager();

if(adChannel != "") { objAdMgr.setForcedParam("google_ad_channel", adChannel); } var strProdSetName = objAdMgr.chooseProductSet(); objAdMgr.renderHeader();

if (objAdMgr.isSlotAvailable("leaderboard2")) { objAdMgr.renderSlot("leaderboard2") }

if (objAdMgr.isSlotAvailable("leaderboard")) { objAdMgr.renderSlot("leaderboard") }

Well what do you know it does regional selections for ads. Looks like you'll have to deal with your local laws and ISP. Those ads are not distributed here. Out of curiosity why are you not using popup blockers?

I had no such issues with the page.
