I’ve considered the water totes and they are good grade, just a little too big for the volume we are doing but thanks for the input.

Appreciate all the input, I’ve pretty much settled on these 100 qt Coleman coolers. The info on the homedepot site is lacking but checking the Coleman site they say all coolers are made of bpa free plastic and are good contact safe. The coolers are ridged and sturdy and low enough for stomping...

as a child my father made his own wine from fresh grapes every year and would take the pomace and distill grappa and god knows it must of been good because every year everyone from the old country was all over him for it. Sadly he passed before he could show me exactly how he did. I started...
