Making wine from grapes and juice so the final amount of must is never known. And the volume changes because of racking. I seem to end up with a prime number as a volume.
So in order to minimize oxygen contact, need to keep the fermentors full to the brim, although I notice that some WE kits aren't as fussy.
Does anyone have something called a variable volume fermentor? I am aware of the professional ones, with the floating cap, but I would like to adapt my 23 l plastic carboys ( wide mouth) to handle volumes between 9 and 23 l.Thought I should ask first before I go into inventor mode .
