Okay, wish i'd taken pics but hey, hinsight is 20/20. I thought that tonight i'd add some of my apfelwein(sp?) to some warm milk before hitting the sack. I'd done this many time with mead and it's great for helping with the sleep department. But i digress, so here i am pouring my now warm milk...

Okay, i wasn't sure and i asked my sister and she didn't know. With wine, do i ferment in fermenter then put in the carboy? Or does it strait to the carboy? Does it depend on the wine? thanks for the help, like i said, massive newb.:cross:
