When no more juice is flowing start the wine transfer pump until no juice is being pumped. The PRESS operation
will end automatically, and the bellows will deflate. Wait about 30 to 60 minutes and then repeat the PRESS
operation. Again, use the pump to assist in collecting the juice. You can even try the PRESS a third time. You can
expect a yield of 5 to 7 gallons/110 lb grapes.
After the bellows deflate, you can pump out any residual juice. Once the operation is complete open the cover.
Remove and discard the liner containing the spent grapes.
THE CLEAR LID ENABLES YOU TO CHECK IF THE BELLOWS ARE INFLATED. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID
CLAMP IF THE BELLOWS ARE VISIBLY PRESSURIZED. THIS MAY CAUSE THE LID AND/OR CLAMP TO OPEN IN A
VIOLENT MANNER AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY. ONLY OPEN THE LID CLAMP WHEN THE BELLOWS AND
FERMENTATION LINER ARE COMPLETELY DEFLATED.
FERMENTATION
Add additives and yeast to the juice collected in your fermentation vessel and you are on your way to an excellent
white wine.
Using the GOfermentor JR allows the winemaker to use fresh grapes and avoid frozen juices and concentrates
usually loaded with preservatives. Pressing white grapes in the GOfermentor JR minimizes oxidation of the juice
and results in fresher fruitier wine with superior aroma. Sulfite use can be minimized or even eliminated.
