WineEasy Fermentor, Blichmann Engineering - 55 Gallons

The Blichmann WineEasy Fermentor is truly a state-of-the-art piece of equipment that allows home winemakers to make wines of unparalleled quality! Blichmann has developed the WineEasy as a combined fermentor and press, which is unique and perhaps different than anything else on the market. The primary fermentor, available in 20, 30 and 55 gallons sizes, contains a false bottom that keeps the pomace separate from the must as the free runnings are drained from the fermentor. The grapes can then be pressed with a vacuum press and piston (vacuum press and piston sold separately). Using this method, there is no need to move the pomace to another vessel for pressing, and the must is pressed off the pomace in a sealed environment, minimizing oxidation and possibility of contamination. Pressing is also highly efficient, and cleanup is much easier than on traditional bladder or ratchet presses. It is also done in a manner that does not extract harsh tannins from cracked seeds or stems.

The design is such that the only one vacuum press kit is needed for doing pressing on any of the fermentors; the only thing that is needed is a different sized piston for the different sized fermentors. The vacuum can also be used to transfer and degass before bottling. With all these advantageous features, the Blichmann WineEasy is the perfect choice for home winemakers who want to make world-class wines at home!

Features of the WineEasy:

  • No messy transfer to a secondary fermentor
  • Less risk of contamination and oxidation
  • Less time
  • Easy to use
  • Simple mess-free cleanup
  • Production of consistently superb wines

Vacuum Pump & Degassing Kit, Blichmann Engineering

The WineEasy Degassing Kit is a vacuum degassing kit from Blichmann Engineering. No more messing with cumbersome, inefficient stir-type degassers that leave CO2 in solution and cause a mess. With the WineEasy Degassing Kit, professionally degassing your wine is as easy as flipping a switch! A vacuum is placed on wine in a carboy through a special stopper, drawing all carbon dioxide out of solution, leaving your wines still and delicious! Degassing usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the temperature of your wine. We recommend getting your wine up between 75-80 degrees for fastest results. This is the perfect degassing solution for all winemakers!

NOTE: This product can be used by anyone on any wine for degassing. For those with a WineEasy Fermentor and Piston, the Vacuum Press Kit for WineEasy is recommended for full use with the WineEasy system.

The Degassing Kit comes with the following components:

  • Vacuum pump
  • 5 ft piece of 1/4" OD hard plastic vacuum tube
  • 1/4" X 6" stainless steel vacuum tube

WineEasy Press Piston, Blichmann Engineering - 55 Gallons

The WineEasy Piston is used in conjunction with the WineEasy fermentor and WineEasy vacuum press kit, to press must from the pomace once the free runnings of the wine have been drained after primary fermentation. The WineEasy Piston makes this process quick, efficient and easy, keeping everything in a sealed environment, which minimizes oxidation and possibility of contamination while giving consistent results.The design is such that the piston will not extract extra harsh tannins out of the grape seeds, creating smoother, more palatable wines of incredible quality. The pistons are available in sizes to fit each of the three WineEasy Fermenters (20, 30 and 55 gallon).

Note: Only one Press Piston is needed per fermentor size. So, if you have two of the 20 gallon WineEasy fermentors, you would only need one of the 20 gallon Press Pistons.
