Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 I was wondering what people use to press their herbal tinctures and infused oils...gloves and cheese cloth can get real old (especially cayenne!). But I can't find an herb press on the internet that is small for home use. Thanks! Kayte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Find an old Norwalk juicer if you can. The older the better. Mine is over 50 years old with a 12 ton press on it. Weighs over 300 lbs but leaves absolutely no liquid in the mash. The CEO of Norwalk offered me 2 brand new ones for mine and I turned him down. A new Norwalk costs about $2,500 and will do the trick though you'll have to order some real quality cloths, or make your own out of organic cotton canvas. Norwalk no longer supplies you with the top quality cloths as they used to. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 I looked on the internet in the beer making stores and it appears the kind of press is a micro press and it runs about $80 on several sites. Thanks for the tip!!
