Folks,
Please help, I know this is so basic you are going to laugh.
I have just processed (fermenting bin, through grape press to demijohn/carboy) 30L montepulciano, 15L English white from one vine and 11L English white from another. I started at 10am and finished washing up at 8pm.
What are the techniques for getting from fermenting bin to carboy?
This was my hopelessly long process:
1. shovel grapeskins into a clean bucket
2. Pour the remaining must + gunk through a funnel with a muslin bag into carboy
3. Stop every couple of litres to squeeze muslin bag and discard gunk.
4. put press into 3rd bucket (old Boots press, borrowed)
5. Press skins, pour through muslin into carboy.
I tried siphoning - but the tube just gets blocked.
There has to be an easier way. Please let me know how you do it?
