I have 18 gallons of Chilean Merlot bulk aging in a 54 liter Italian demijohn and 3 gallon better bottle. I would like to do a cold stabilization on that batch and now would be the perfect time in the garage here in Chicago. My garage is semi insulated and i do have a furnace with a low temp thermostat that goes down to 35 degrees. I would like to try to keep temp around 30 or a bit below.
Im concerned about doing it out there in the demijohn due to it being thinner than a carboy. Any thoughts on that? (I do not have any spare 6 gallon carboys to use right now)
Has anyone else done a cold stabilization in a demijohn? Thanks!
