    How can I fill up space in my charboy?

    Thanks Rossnaree. I have been using a couple Poland Spring 3L bottles, which seem to be the perfect size and shape. I hope to get some more stoppers and airlocks soon but until then I have been opening and closing the cap every day or two to release the pressure and co2. That seems to be what...

    How can I fill up space in my charboy?

    Is there anything wrong with keeping the wine in multiple smaller containers? Let's say multiple 2 or 3 liter bottles.

    Where can I buy sanitizing powder in NYC?

    I have a little bit of B-brite, but now I hear that B-brite doesn't sanitize, and I need C-brite. Is that how it works? Not sure what the difference is. My batch is now fermenting in a plastic tub (polypropylene, food safe #5) and I have some paint buckets as well (PET, #1). I bought all the...
