Have homebrewed beer for several years with good success. I won a wine kit
at our club Christmas Party, a nice Shiraz. The kit calls for secondary in
a 6-gallon carboy. All I have is a 6.5 gallon carboy (I thought this was a
standard size). Anyway, the kit says to top up to within 2" of the stopper,
and I'm wondering if adding that much water is a good thing, or do I risk
ruining the wine by not doing so?! Thanks in advance for your help!
