Blichmann WineEasy

This is the WineEasy Vacuum Press Kit which hooks up to your WineEasy Fermentor when ready to press. After draining some free-run, the pump is hooked up, creating a vacuum in an intermediate carboy, which will then start drawing wine from your Fermentor. This method of pressing is extremely gentle, and has no risk of over-extraction, as the maximum achievable pressure will be that of the atmosphere (~14 psi). The Vacuum Press Kit can be used with any size WineEasy. As such, you will only need one Vacuum Press Kit, regardless of size or quantity of WineEasy Fermentors you may own! On top of this product's use in pressing, the Vacuum Press Kit can also be used to degas wine!

Using the WineEasy™ combined fermentor and press is admittedly different than anything on the market, but is incredibly easy to use and provides results and ease of use that traditional fermenting and pressing techniques simply can't offer. At the heart of the system is a high quality stainless primary fermentor (20, 30 and 55 gal sizes). A uniquely designed false bottom located at the bottom of the fermentor allows the pomace to be separated from the wine while draining the unit. The tines on the pressure plate support the bottom of the fermentor and perforated false bottom and keep it from collapsing from the pressure imparted by the vacuum pump. After alcoholic fermentation, the free run is drained or pumped out of the fermentor. The sliding piston assembly is then installed. The vacuum pump evacuates the carboy (or other vacuum capable vessel) and applies a vacuum under the false bottom of the WineEasy fermentor. This causes atmospheric pressure to push down on the sliding piston pressing the pomace to the ideal maximum pressure of 14 PSI to avoid hard press conditions. Since this is all done without transferring the pomace to a press, and is done so in a completely closed and air tight system, oxidation and contamination are virtually eliminated. Cleanup is as easy as scooping out the dry pomace into a container and washing out the high polish stainless steel fermentor!

These are Leg Extensions for use with the 20 and 30 gallon Blichmann WineEasy Fermentors. These will allow you to gravity drain your Fermentor into carboys or other vessels. These legs are not for use with the 55 gallon unit, as it is too large to be safely supported by the legs. Please Note: The Vacuum Pump Kit, which you will need for pressing, will allow you to transfer out of the WineEasy regardless of height via the vacuum created.
