Sure it does. You just showed that the internal volume of the press is
almost the same as one carboy. Most of the must is liquid and most of that
runs right through the press when you fill it from the fermenter. You could
probably stuff _three_ carboys worth of solids in a single load in that
press - depending on the grape.
