Long time brewer, first time wine guy.
My father in law bought me a wine kit, he actually got me two.
The directions tell me to ferment a 6 gallon batch in an 8 gallon container.
I have a Sanke Keg (15.5 gallons) that I've converted to a fermenter.
Can I dump both those kits into the Sanke keg, or do I need that extra half gallon of space for fermentation?
My guess is I'm fine, but I don't want a mess on my hand or to explain to my Father-in-law that I'm as good a brewer as I say I am.
Any advice is appreciated.
