ABSTRACT:
A wine fermentation tank includes a generally cylindrical outer tank with a top opening through which crushed grapes may be added to the tank. The bottom of the tank has a frusto-conical shape with a door and a fluid discharge tube at the lower apex of the tank bottom. A concentric screen fits within the tank to retain the crushed grapes and define a narrow annular space between the tank and screen. Juice from the grapes passes through the screen and then through openings in the outer tank wall for collection. A screen is also positioned over the bottom door. The tank wall openings are sized to insure even flow of juice from the tank through various outlets.
