I hope I am not breaking any rules here, but anyone know where I can get (pref hydraulic) a BIG wine press (pref hydraulic) please? .
Please don't say brewland!!
Cheers
If you're up to making some sort of apparatus to actually contain grapes or other fruit, you can often find small 6 to 10 tonne (pressure) hydraulic presses on ebay for less than a wunner!
I'm intending to do that but get some pressing cloths from Vigo to wrap apple pulp in. I'll be making up a few boards to seperate "packs" of pulp so the only issue with be some sort of tray to sit under the press and direct the juice into the bucket/container.
The presses I've seen on ebay are all new (and hence, uncontaminated), plus I've seen examples of presses being used in such a way on the UKCider wiki/site (though in truth the last one I saw being used there was one that would normally be used for pressing commercial and fork lift tyres off the rims - and it's towed behind a van - and the luxury of a powered hydraulic pump rather than a hand cranked hydraulic pump).
Dunno if that suggestion is of any use!

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

I think I know the sort of press you are making - is it the cider "cheese" press - if so these http://www.harrodhorticultural.com/p...bs/GWT-004.jpg would make an excellant jooos catcher. I have some - very strong plastic. Availae at garden centres.
