How many lbs of grapes fit in a 40 liter bladder press?
It will not fit 200 lbs. A gallon of water weighs ~8.3 lbs. The density of grape must will be a little different, but not vastly. 200 lbs of water would be about 24 gallons.- sour_grapes

How long can I leave grape juice/wine after primary is complete ?
Obviously, this is only a guess. I would hazard a guess that you could safely press this weekend. A week or so in primary fermentation is typical. And there it's not a sin to press at, say, 1.020 SG. The wine might turn out a little lighter in color than you would prefer, but it could all be...- sour_grapes
