I discovered that my primary fermentation bucket is only 6.5 gallons large - this is what I get for not ordering my kit through George!
The RJS Winery Series Amarone has not only a grape pack, which looks to be about 1/4 gallon or more, but it also has a pack of raisins which I found under the juice bag.
Has anyone tried making this in a 6.5 gallon bucket? That is - 6 gallons of juice, the grape pack, wood chips, and raisins? Am I going to flow over even if I don't lock the lid down for primary fermentation?
Or do I have to buy a 7.8 bucket?
Thanks!
