Over the years, I 've used everything from 1 gallon glass jars through
to 10 gallon stoneware jars, not to mention 5 gallon "boxes", but
never fermented wine in the open.

I like it when a really deep red foams over through the traps - its
really spectacular, not to mention messy

All good fun, especially when it comes to the drinking stage........
