I thought it was alot of headspace too. This was straight from my primary open container ferment 2 days ago. It is now supposed to sit for 2-3 months. My dilemma is should I immediately put it into a smaller carboy with less headspace and add k-meta?

Initial ferment was an open container with a cloth. Its now in my 1 gal carboy. The stopper at the top allows for slow air release. My recipe calls for 2-3 months to sit before another racking. It's sitting in my basement now which maintains a temp of around 70 degrees in the summer, but...

1st time making dandelion wine. Is this too much space in my 1 gal carboy? 1st rack from primary. Fruit used: orange, lemon, golden raisin. Should I use a k-meta to help clear? My recipe didn't call for it, being a recipe from days without electronics.

I have a hydrometer ordered and on the way. When I first started this project, I was told to wait until it stops bubbling which typically takes 2-3 weeks before it's first racking into the carboy. It is in a relatively cool, dark space (avg 65 F). I hope I haven't ruined anything. I got the...

Also, is it necessary to add K-meta when (after the first 3 week ferment cycle)pouring into the first carboy?

I used that technique as well. It seemed to go faster the more I pulled. I had a 5 gal bucket of blossoms and 16 cups of petals for my batch. I'm in the fermenting stage now, almost 3 weeks of daily stirring! :db

I did use golden raisins to my batch with lemon and orange! Since it was my first attempt, I decided to try it in a small batch, to fill a 1 gal carboy. I ended up using dry active yeast. I jope that won't affect the flavor.

I started my first small batch (only 1 gal) last night (after losing my blossoms the night before and starting over). This really seems like a much easier process than making beer (except for the pulling of petals, of course). It took at total of almost 2 hours of my fiancee picking and over 4...

Oy! So i started removing petals, placed them in a ziploc (left on the table overnight instead of popping them in the freezer) and was going to continue the next morning, but now they smell sour. :( Let me guess, I have to throw those away and start picking fresh today?
