Transporting still-fermenting wine

[Illyena]

Hey everyone!

I am fairly new to wine making and this forum. I am moving 2 hours away and was trying to figure out if it would be ok to transport and how I should transport it.

I have a 1 gallon sack mead bulk aging (perfectly clear), a 1 gallon honeysuckle fermenting in secondary (not clear and bubbling every so often), and 1 gallon of strawberry rhubarb in a 2 gallon plastic primary.

Thoughts?

The clear stuff should be fine.

I would split the fermenting stuff into a couple of buckets and leave plenty of "head space".

The clear stuff should be fine.

i would add, as long as it is racked off the sediment before transport, that is....

Thanks for the help I timed this move poorly v.v

Yeah, be careful about leaving a lot of room with the still fermenting wine as its loaded with C02 and when stirred or sloshed it will violently erupt!
