>I've been doing crush and strain for years - never used an extractor because I use no foundation.
I don't see a connection. I use no foundation and extract all the time. I used foundation and did crush and strain for 26 years...
> (I also harvest cut comb this way.) Those of you who do this know it's very labor intensive and you have to wait for gravity to get the job done. Yes, a wine or apple press can be used but I find these almost as much of a chore.
You have to wait for gravity for your cappings either way...
>My question: What do you all think about using a cappings spinner like this one? It's kind of pricey but in theory it seems like it would work fine. Ideas? Suggestions?
Why not extract? That's what I do with foundationless...
