i have never made wine before, and i found a recipe that i would like to try. i want to make a 1 gallon batch as to lessen the blow if it doesn't turn out, but i only have 5 gallon carboys and fermenting buckets. will the extra air/head space cause the wine to fail miserably or should i just give it a go? it will have an airlock and all that good stuff. also, my local brew store is out of nutrient, is there a substitute or can it be added when it goes to secondary? like i said, wine virgin. thanks for any input.
