I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with using a bladder
press for making cider.  The units I refer to are Italian, generally
5-40 gallons per squeeze (though they make them bigger). An example can
be seen here:

I am wondering about yield efficiency, time per cycle, etc.  I
may want to skip a rack and cloth press and go this route, especially if
it gives me more options, such as squeezing grapes.  I already have
a good pomace grinder.

Thanks,

Terry
