So add more fruit/water to extend the batch and produce enough to fill the secondary, with a bit to spare. Two solutions for the secondary problem come to mind:#1: Use the 5 gallon carboy. Extend the wine enough to produce 5.5 gallons, so you will fill the carboy after loss to sediment.#2: Get a 1 gallon /4 liter jug -- Carlo Rossi wines in 4 liter jugs cost just a bit more than a new empty jug, and you have 4 liters of cooking wine. Extend the wine to produce 4.5 gallons, to fill the 3 gallon carboy + 4 liter jug.</blockquote>
