I've made about 10 batches of wine and typically will rack out of primary into a size smaller carboy, ie. if I made a 6 gallon batch of wine, I'll rack into a 5 gallon carboy and 1 gallon jug. Maybe a little bit will have to go into a 1/2 gallon jug. This way I have same wine available to top off in future rackings. When I do re-rack and top the 5 gallon up, the 1 gallon will typically not be topped off. Is this wine still OK to use for topping or what do you guys typically do with it?
Also, I have made a few beer extract kits following the instructions closely. When I rack out of primary into a carboy, the carboy is rarely topped off. How bad is this for the beer? It's not going into long term storage so not that big of a deal?
Thanks!
