As discussed in the meeting today, we are looking at forming a coop among interested LMWGA winemakers to share equipment. Many of the bigger ticket winemaking hardware items are only used once or twice a year. The idea is to jointly buy certain hardware, like destemmer/crusher, press, bottle filler, corker and filtration gear and share the cost and use among participating members. I have done some research and have ideas, but rather than fill pages, let me know by return email if you are interested in participating either for some or all the equpment.
