Grapes to go - what do you think?

[kessler]

yeah it does - cases are 7kg (with stalk) = 5L (wine)
So if we say 1L = 1KG
25L mash = 25KG (ish)
25/7=3.5 (cases)
3.5 x 5L = 17.5 litres wine.

Gets us the 25 litre drums need to have 21litre(orKG) of crushed grapes to yield 15L of wine.

Or a 70% extraction rate (ish)

That's what I've been getting - it's an accepted number innit?

So .... any progress ?

I am researching freezing them de-stemmed whole, in 6lb bags.

I think this might be a more versatile solution - people could have as many or as few as they want. Usable in many different recipes and many choices of method. Also mail-able!
