If you're going to be doing larger batches, I'd look for places in your area that sell wine making or brewing supplies. You might add a little bit of help as it's dropping, but you don't want to be doing it so much that you tire yourself out. The important thing about soil tampers is that you let the weight of it work for you. Think of a large mortar & pestle - either your feet, as has already been mentioned, or maybe a baseball bat (wooden, not alumninum).Īlthough a soil tamper might work, I'd be afraid of using one, both for cleanliness (yes, I know feet are the alternative), but they tend to be iron and I'd be concerned about keeping it in an acid for a long time.

Our grapes were scuppernog, which are very acidic, and we ended up using latex gloves towards the end because the acidity really hurt our hands. We were making a white, so we did not put the skins in the must. Then I gave them to my spouse, who squeezed them by hand using a cheese cloth. Then the berries are mashed and together with the juice are placed in an enamel pot, filling it up to ¾ of its volume. According to this answer you may be able to rent a wine press, which may fit your needs if you are only doing this once after you read my experience.įirst I softened up the grapes by putting them in the bowl of my stand mixer and running it with the flat beater for a few minutes. Harvested grapes are thoroughly sorted out, removing stems, unripe, tainted or berries with mold. Here's what I did last year, and while it works the wine press would be a lot easier.
