I only added a 1/2 gallon of water last time figuring I'd get water from the fruit. But I didn't get much. I'd also like to add a little extra water to help separate out the fruit. Even better would be a nylon bag. | I only added a 1/2 gallon of water last time figuring I'd get water from the fruit. But I didn't get much.
