Unexpected cleaning day

Plan was to bottle today. I spent Friday racking barrels to a tank and yesterday filtering it to our bottling tank. But in the wine world plans are only valuable if they include several back-up plans. So my back-up plan for today is to clean our press.

Halfway through last harvest it blew the bladder inside that squishes the grapes. In the process of blowing the bladder something else got messed up so, long story short, all the boys climbing around on it to fix it got grease everywhere! So I have two pressure washers, a scrub brush, extreme determination and all day to get it sparkling for this harvest.
