I looked around for a sale and found this Stainless Steel 30 quart pot with a Stainless Steel basket for a good price. Neither will be attached to the press frame, so I can still use them when ever I want. A very strong spacer will need to be made to support the basket inside the pot during operation and allow room for the cider to accumulate under the basket. Pots like these are mass produced and not expensive to buy.
