Ok heres the situation
5 gallons of blackberry/elderberry (5 gallon carboy)
7 gallons of big red muscadine (5 gallon carboy)(2x 1 gallon carboys)
3+ gallons of Noble muscadine (5 gallon carboy)******
(#2)4+ gallons of Scuppernong (5 gallon carboy)******
(#1)3 gallons of Scuppernong (3 gallon carboy)******
(#3)3 gallons of Suppernong (3 gallon carboy)******
3 gallons of Watermelon (3 gallon carboy)
Heres the dilemma,
I need to rack the 3 different Scuppernongs and the Muscadines.
The Noble really needs to be in a 3 gallon carboy but I don't have another one to put it in. The 4 gallons of Scuppernong needs to be in a smaller carboy as well. Most I think would say mix all the Scuppernongs and put them in the 5 gallon carboys and put the noble in a 3 gallon carboy. But heres what you don't know,
The #1 scuppernong was made using no extra water and using wild yeast
The #2 scuppernong was made using no extra water and using EC-1118 yeast
The #3 scuppernong was made using extra water and wild yeast
They all started with an SG of 1.080-1.090 and an TA of .65-.70%. I thought like most probably would and was going to mix the Scuppernongs a get 10 gallons to put into 2x 5 gallon carboys. However I don't konw how well the three different ones will mix. The simplist thing I have is the Noble, it just needs to be racked and put into a 3 gallon carboy, but how do I come up with one of those without buying another one. (No extra money until the middle of November, even then I still have to pass it by the boss lady)
So how do I get a 3 gallon carboy freed up. Or what other options do you see that would work. The watermelon is still clearing as is the Blackberry/Elderberry.
