Subject: [NAFEX] Small Press

Hi all,
I was talking to Jill off list regarding food mills for pressing berries,
and I mentioned how I wished
they had small, cider type presses that could be used for berries. When it
comes to juice extraction,
nothing is more efficient than a press, but presses are too big for small
jobs (10-20 quarts).
With that in mind I did a quick search for plans for such a tiny press. I
got a good hit on the first
pass and thought I would pass it along to you all;
I sent an email to Jeff asking if he had a picture of it (other than his
diagram).
Seems like a simpe press that could be made with a 5 gallon plastic pail.
It would save a lot of kitchen
mess, especially with dark colored, staining berries.
If any NAFEX members have designed simple to construct, tiny, cider type
presses, I would like to see
them too.
We all end up needing to put all the fruit we grow to a good use.
