Of course I will clean and sanitize them first. I have one 6.5-gallon glass carboy and 4 5-gallon glass carboys.
The directions I'm reading for the kits state to do primary fermentation in an 8-gallon vessel, then rack into a 6-gallon carboy for secondary.
This seems rather inefficient since most carboys are 5-gallons? Are all the kits sized this way? Do you leave sediment behind when transferring?
I know when I ferment beer, I leave 4" of headspace for the krausen - how much bubbling should I expect for wine fermentation?
