The Vacuum Press Kit for Blichmann's WineEasy is the driving force behind the WineEasy system that allows vintners to easily press the remaining wine from the pomace with just the right pressure (14 psi). At this pressure, the maximum amount of wine is extracted without disturbing or crushing seeds and stems, leaving harsh tannins out of the wine! Only ONE vacuum press kit is needed, no matter how many WineEasy fermentors you have!

In addition, this vacuum press kit can be used for degassing your wine. Placing a vacuum on wine in the carboys will draw carbon dioxide out of solution, leaving still, professional grade wine for you and yours to enjoy! The included stainless steel racking cane can also be used with the system. Harnessing the power of Blichmann's vacuum pump, wine can be drawn from one vessel to another with the simple flick of a switch! No more lifting of heavy carboys, just let the vacuum pump do all the work for you. Required for the WineEasy, the Vacuum Press Kit will simplify every aspect of your winemaking process!
