This is my first wine kit. I did my first racking my shiraz last night at SG 1.03. I've followed all the finevinewine videos and put the first part of a the rack into another bottle before racking to the carboy. However I didnt have a bung for a wine bottle so I racked to a 1gal jug with bung/airlock. The rest went into the carboy.
Question is when I filled the carboy I didnt fill to the neck I filled to where the glass starts to round. Did I not fill it enough? Should I move some of the wine from the jug to the carboy? Also should I rack the jug wine into a bottle (buying a bottle fitting bung in the process)? I'm just not sure of the effect the extra space will have other than a little air good, a lot of air bad.
Thanks.
Oh and first tasting was very good. =)
