I posted this in Yooper's blackberry wine recipe thread, but it's a lot slower in there, and I'm heading to the LHBS tomorrow and need to know if I need a larger fermenter.
Basically I'm planning on making 5gal of blackberry wine requiring 20lbs of blackberries and 4+gals of water.
My largest fermenter is 8.5gals right to the rim, and obviously I can't completely fill it up. I'm wondering if I need a larger fermenter, or maybe split the batch between two of these 8.5gal buckets?
I have no idea how much volume 20 lbs of blackberries will take up.
Thanks!
