1- fire up a massive old 44 gallon drum (no idea what it was used for originally but it had blue paint on the outside still)
2- stick the left over wine that was too awful to bottle and the fermented grape twigs and shit in it
3- put the thing on an OPEN FIRE!
4- stick a copper head still on it
5- seal it with a mix of flour and water and oats
6- keep EVERY DROP that comes out after about 2mls of foreshots.
7- rip in straight away.
What could possibly be wrong with that? :-)

here's the plan : I will have to press them the old school way (stomp them) they are covered in yeast and that is what I hope to use. The grapes are Shiraz, yes I know loads of tanin but here the thing. All that tanin is in the skin, if you ferment on the mark you will get red wine, if you separate it it will be white ( of cause I will be losing a lot of yeast like that but I think it will fire just the same :handgestures-thumbupleft:

It cost me $450 for 5gms which I thought was bloody rich but I fired 3 washes with it so what the hell and you call keep the lees and reuse anyway so :handgestures-thumbupleft:
