For the price I think this a great idea to really cut down on the time of sanitizing bottles. If I didn't make one I would certainly consider buying it.

Best fruit press around for apples and pears. I also have one for sale with the motor.

I just bought a screw capper, closer to $7000.

This happened about five years ago and the price kept going down until it hit about $89. Lots of folks were waiting till next payday to buy and all of a sudden the price bumped back up to over $300. Just saying, grab it while the grabbing is good.

I have about 8 different colors of was. I use a cheap hot plate. I bought a cheap $4.00 sauce pan for each color so there is no clean up or waste. I also bought a pack of about 8 spoons for just a couple dollars at Walmart. again no clean up. With so many different colors you can also blend a...

Dude, wth have you been up to? Good to see you pop in after being MIA for a few years. Did your igloo wash away yet with the global warming? Nice to see you're still up and about.

I use inferred also but what is all the big deal about temperature anyways. What is it going to do to make your winemaking any better. About the only time I use mine is for making yeast cultures. Your Hydrometer and ph meter are your real friends. On the flip side it is interesting to watch your...
