After reading an article in WineMaker magazine about building a grape press (by John Zamarra), I decided to "improve" my set up and build a stronger frame similar to the one in the magazine. I now have a 6 Ton bottle jack to exert pressure. Now I should be ready for next year's harvest.
Here's a picture...I took the picture with the "small" 50 lb capacity basket (and the 8 inch spacer). I will replace it with a bigger (4-5 gallon?) basket before next year's harvest.
