press size
I use a "Mini Press' with a stainless steel basket and ceramic base and a
tilt top. I would guess the basket is 8x13. Going from pressing red grapes
from primary to secondary it will do twenty gal. (US) in 3 pressings. Of
course pressing fresh grapes for white wine would take more pressings. It
will also handle a 3 gal batch of other fruit. A problem with the bigger
ones is that they will not efficiently press small batches. I really like
the ceramic and stainless for cleanup.
