    Description

    • Automated Cap Punching - You're busy. Now never miss a cap punch again
    • No Press - Eliminates the need for separate press
    • Clean - Reduced fruit flies and super easy clean up

    GOfermentor Jr makes wine from real grapes in a machine the size of a bar stool. The GOfermentor Jr is an automated winery 30" tall and 20" wide. Professional winemaking for the serious enthusiast. Make red wine using real grapes instead of juice for award-winning results. Advanced technology eliminates all the mess and cleaning. Completely self-contained. Does not require a destemmer, or press.

    GO fermentor Jr is designed to make 5 to 8 gallons of wine per batch. Fermentation is performed in a single-use pharmaceutical grade plastic bag. This bag is filled through a large 20" opening. Whole, crushed, or even whole-cluster grapes can be added. The large fill port allows the grapes to filled by hand, eliminating the need for an expensive must pump. The winemaker then introduces additives and yeast as desired and closes the bag with the supplied vent cap. The fermentation proceeds and CO2 is automatically vented as necessary. Punching is performed automatically as per a schedule set by the winemaker. This automatic punch ensures superb extraction of color and flavors.

    Just buy some yeast and add up to 110 lbs of wine grapes for 5 gallons of superb wine in 8 to 10 days. Closed bag operation enables zero sulfite wines. Unattended punchdown. Set schedule on smart phone. Perfect punching based on our patented air bladder technology. No getting up at 2am or working weekends. Built-in WiFi and free monitoring/control app.

    With the push of a button the machine presses out the wine. Collect and age it for a few months and you're ready to amaze your friends. Waste skins and seeds are left in the bag. Just pull it out and use the pomace as compost. All you need is another $25 bag for the next delicious batch.

    Real Wine From Real Grapes
    Nothing else needed. Just buy some yeast and add up to 110 lbs of wine grapes for 5 gallons of superb wine in 8 to 10 days. Closed bag operation enables zero sulfite wines. Proven award-winning performance.

    No Cleaning
    Food grade BPA-free single use fermentation bag. No cleaning. No contamination. No off-odors. No mess. No insects. Your family will love it. 20 inches in diameter and 36 inches tall. Fits anywhere in a basement or closet.

    Automated Punch
    When a punch is desired, the controller inflates the bladders. This action squeezes the fermentation bag forcing the wine up through the cap. After a few minutes the bladder is deflated and fragments of the cap fall back into the wine. The action is repeated periodically and ensures that the cap is dispersed and kept moist. Unattended punchdown. Set schedule on smart phone. Perfect punching based on our patented air bladder technology. No getting up at 2am or working weekends. Built-in WiFi and free monitoring/control app.

    No Press Needed
    Pressing out wine is difficult to do at home. Wine presses are expensive and create a huge mess. This is the main reason why home winemakers mostly use grape juice. However, for red wines, fermentation with skins is essential to making quality wine. The GO fermentor Jr with its integral press does away with the need for a dedicated press. With the push of a button the machine presses out the wine. Collect and age it for a few months and you are ready to amaze your friends. Waste skins and seeds are left in the bag. Just pull it out and use the pomace as compost. All you need is another $25 bag for the next delicious batch.

        Youre going to need more than you think

        I apparently thought 3lbs was more than it is. Its exactly as shown but its a small bag so it wasnt enough for what i needed and ill have to get more. But ill look for cheaper because im not paying $25 again.

        A Must for the home winery!

        Lee's stirrer works great. Better than the whip it in my opinion. Bought one that got damaged in shipping and they quickly sent me another one no hassle. Great customer service thank you

        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.

        Love it

        I wanted something that could be used would both wide-mouth carboys and narrow glass one-gallon jugs. This is perfect even fits in my supply box.

        great alternative topping option in some situations

        Sometimes I have a need for topping off a wine when I don't have a good alternative topping wine or the volume needed is such that my available topping options are not optimal choices. These marbles are a great alternative in those circumstance and they clean up easily and are easy to sanitize and store for future use. Overall this is a good tool to have in one's home winemaking toolbox.

        Works great for degassing threw out the old wine whip plastic tool.

        Sturdy and quick to degass my wine after failure to degass properly with wine whip. I still had co2 after 9 months of aging. This seems to do the trick. Now I am ready to reuse my carboys for this year's batch.

        too short

        This unit would be fine if the description was accurate. However the straight portion is shorter than described. Not terribly so but enough to be unable to reach the bottom of my barrels.

        Easy to use and great value.

        When I started making wine it was a hazzle trying to figure out the different many components needed to ferment a high quality wine. The GoFormentor made it easy to understand the whole process and easy to control the critical aspects of wine making which are cap management reduction of exposure to unwanted bacteria from the environment and a temperature control while fermenting. Overall great product with great support from the manufacturer.

        Worked Great! Just pick through them.

        Worked great! I used 9 lbs. to top up my 5 gallon carboy of black raspberry wine. Just about a hand full had small cracks and bubbles close to the surface. I picked through and put them around one of my plants. Didn't want any small pieces to end up in my wine. I will be buying more for my next batch. I'll just pick through them.
