Thanks for all the info., folks.

Another question. With this being my first batch and being that it's
a kit, is racking into the second carbouy that important? In other
words, would the quality increase tremendously, or only a tiny bit? I
can definitely see that I will need to add a second carbouy and some
small jugs in the future, especially if I want to make some wine from
scratch. Just wondering if it's that critical with this first batch.
