Abstract

See full text

A multipurpose device used in fermenting wine as a filter for hydrometer testing, siphoning, and a cap punch is disclosed. The filtering device includes a perforated vessel, tubular in shape, with a flange which floats on the cap of the must or fermenting wine and stabilizes the filtering device within the primary fermenter, while the submersed portion of the vessel, below the flange, fills through perforations with liquids free of debris for testing, siphoning, or sampling; a multi-ringed siphoning attachment inserts into the tubular shaped vessel of the filtering device, snaps into place on the rim of the vessel, and securely holds a siphon hose in place within the primary fermenter for siphoning; and a handle which, when snapped into place on the rim of the filtering device, converts the foot of the filtering device to a cap punch.
