If you use grapes as your fruits, a number 25 or 30 will be ok. With
a 30 size press, you can made 2 23L carboy if the press is completely
full and you made a good press. I normally made 2 18,9L carboy with
one press but the press is not completely full. If you intend to
increase you production, you are better with the 30. With the 25 size
you will probably be ok with one press per 23L carboy if you load it
3/4 full. Of course, it's an average as every grape variety give
different quantity of juice. Just for your information, if you don't
know what mean the number on the press, it's the diameter of the
basket in cm.
