Wine Cap Punch Down Tool (Small)

    Description

    Wine Cap Puncher - This is an ideal puncher for smaller volume winemaking. Perfect for 20 gallon fermenters.

    Our design features a sealed connection where juice cannot travel back up into the handle. We have seen similar models but always passed on selling them because the design had an opening where the 4 metal wires went back into the hollow handle. When juice inevitably did get back up into that space, the punch was done, you could never clean it. Height is 24". Base is 5 3/16" diameter

        punchdown potato masher

        Fantastic price but its so heavy. I am not using it, rather I am still using my light plastic beer stirring tool to punch down the grapes. It is just easier and less surface area to cling onto sanitizer and easier to clean. However, when the grapes are first thawed the heavy tool will be useful.

        Its okay

        Works well, but there are a lot of crevices for bacteria to get stuck in…

        Heavy duty

        I just received it but haven't used it. Can say that it is very sturdily constructed and looks like it will work amazing.

        Superb punch down tool

        Excellent quality. Well made and easy to clean. Used mainly for smaller batches of whole grape must in a 15.9 gallon fermenter. Definitely recommend!

        Does the job

        Arrived bent. Never complained about it but I’m pretty bothered, just don’t think it’s worth the hassle. Did all the punch downs this harvest with zero complaints.

        Great for smaller batches

        Perfect for a 20-gal Rubbermaid Brute container and smaller. My other punch down tool was way too big

        Small must punch works perfectly with 7.5 gallon fermenter buckets.

        This thing looks like an oversized potato masher from high school. But it does wonders on small batches and large patches of winemaking

        Very sturdy. Easy to clean.

        Great tool for punching down the cap. It's easy to clean if you rinse it off right after using it.

        pretty good for the price

        The handle is really easy to hold, made from a slightly spongy material. The welded point is slightly cobby but complete, and it is a great size for a ten gallon fermenter, or smaller I would imagine. You have to be persistent to clean it because bits of grape skin and MOG will get caught in the mesh, but they will wash away with a brush. Anyway, how can you really complain at this price? I recommend it.

        Can I crush grapes or other berries with this? Is it strong enough?

        MoreBeer!

        It would be strong enough to do so but I wouldn't recommend it. Buy a fruit/grape crusher instead. Use the right tool for the job at hand.

        MoreBeer!

        I don't think a standard crush like we do with grapes would be much fun but it would be strong enough just not very efficient.

        MoreBeer!

        It is made to punch the grapes to the bottom during primary fermentation i don't think it would work to press grapes. You need more surface area and more pressure to extract all the liquid.

        MoreBeer!

        Small (1-2 gallons) batches should be ok for grapes and other soft berries. You would not be successful with larger batches.

        MoreBeer!

        That's not what it's designed for but I suppose you could crush grapes with it as long as it was only a small quantity. I can't imagine it being effective for large batches.
