Best wine making crushes, presses & stemmers according to redditors

It's not difficult, but it requires a fruit press or something similar (you could probably do it with a #10 can and a very heavy weight of some sort). All you do is cook an octopus or two in almost boiling water, like 97C, until it is fully cooked and tender (about an hour) and let it cool in the same water. Take the octopus, season as desired, chop into large chunks (or don't, it's not a critical step) then wrap in cheese cloth, put it in the press, and tighten that sucker down (my first reddit pun!). Leave it at least over night to congeal, take it out of the press, cut thin sheets out of it by rolling it while you cut a thin layer with a large, sharp knife (look up daikon sheets to get the idea). Then wrap your salmon with the sheets, roll tight with plastic wrap or a sushi mat, and cut it like sashimi and brush it with some kind of shiny glaze.

For the record, I've never used that method for sushi, but during my time in Italy we made octopus carpaccio like that.

This appears to be the same crusher under a different name. Reviews are mixed, though Fakespot says they're mostly-real. Anyway, lots of the 1- and 2-star reviews seem to indicate other folks have the same issue. Maybe flip through the 4- and 5-star reviews and see if anyone has suggestions for improvement? One I saw said adding more rows of "teeth" using screws made it more functional.

I think it’s a press. Or a juicer. It’s missing a piece.

Old ol timey version of this - https://www.amazon.com/E-C-Kraus-Table-Top-Fruit-Press/dp/B00838WJBO

Fruit press.

Wait it gets better I found you the same brand but in bigger sizes on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Fruit-Gallon-Basket-Berries-Making/dp/B0777VKQPK

Try using the honey chrome extension for coupons too.

You can get a cheap press off Amazon for $50

Yeah for sure! It’s a 3.2 gallon fruit press I ordered from amazon. It works really well with berries and softer fruits. Just a quick breakdown of the actual pieces and operation of the press. It has a threaded pipe that goes a little lower than half way down and a nut threads into it. The nut has three holes for the handle. As you spin the nut down it presses a rectangular piece of wood onto a circular piece of wood which in turn presses the fruit. The fruit is stored on a mesh bag that comes with the press. One thing to note is that the press comes with two small pieces of rectangular blocks of wood that are used to stack onto the the other wood pieces to ensure the fruit at the bottom is pressed. It doesn’t always work if you do a small amount of fruit (a couple pounds). So what I had to do is cut some additional blocks to go with it. I recommend any hard wood just because anything softer like poplar or pine may split or crack.

$170 for the crusher.

Low teck? Probably a press. I have seen people use two chopping boreds in a tin baking tray and drive a car on it lol. Only works for smallish volumes.

This kind of thing is more sanitary:

Another option is to do the 1st extraction with some high centration spirit (>80%) then use the water method, I discribed, as the water to cut it down to 30% while recovering most of the alcohol.

I’m sure this would work

It was more than a bit cheaper when I ordered it a few months back.

a good old fashioned press would do the trick

No problem! It’s actually really easy to make your own pressed hash. All you need is a grinder and a pollen press (like $15 on Amazon). Grind your nug, put a quarter in it, and leave it in the freezer for 10 min. After that, take it out and shake for a minute or less (it’ll knock mostly all of the kief off) and you should have a lot more kief in your catcher than usual. Put the kief in the press, press it into a puck and voila, you grinded weed and a hash puck! Used to do this all the time when I smoked bud, fuck a plug make it your own way!

Here’s the kief press I have:

Hi there!

Thank you soooo much for the tip. She is just getting into tinctures, glycerin extractions etc. The hydraulic tincture press is out of my price range, but would this be the manual version of that?

Get a Fruit Crusher and a apple press and have a great time.

Late to the party but wondering the same thing, was hoping something like this might work but I have my doubts https://www.amazon.com/Weston-05-0201-Construction-Stainless-Crushing/dp/B000XB5UHE/

Yeah, I initially thought, Even if its $30 USD how could I not. That website doesn't even seem to have the actual machine.

Actually still not bad if you're going through a lot of fruit

Canadian if that wasn't clear.
