Fruit Press Sanitation ?

[Bunky]

I picked up this old Fruit Press, and want to use it for Pressing apples and Pears, But I need to know what the best way to clean and Sanitize it before I use it ?

Just simply wash it well then spray it with a k-meta solution. Nice press!

I would personally use this product; https://www.piwine.com/catalog.html?page=shop.browse&category_id=49
Keep in mind this product should only be used outdoors on your "juice" producing equipment. Rinse well with water after letting it sit for 5-10 minutes. Do not use it around finished or fermenting wine.

Think of all the stuff already on the fruit. As long as you hose it off well, why worry about actually sterilizing it? I've used that approach for a decade without issues. Worry about what gets in contact with the must AFTER you have it in a container and have applied sulfite...within reason.
