I know it would probably be better to ferment a bucket but I just love
watching it in the carboy. The other two batches didn't foam over
like this one did. Bottom line is I just hate to put it in the bucket
because I can't see it swirling around! But I guess that would be
better.

Thanks for the responses guys! This sure is a lot easier than
beermaking.



If winemaking is so easy, then how come you're having problems with foam in
your airlock? I've been making wine for 20 years, and I still learn
something new and interesting every time I make wine, or read postings in
this newsgroup. The more you try to perfect your methods and your wines,
then more you will find out how complex it can be.

Sounds like you're having fun making wine, which is the main reason to make
it in the first place. Good luck.




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........
