My father has a 10 gallon crock in his basement. It has been in the family a few generations. My father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all made wine in it. I don't know much about making wine, but obviously it is possible to make wine in something other than a carboy, bucket, or barrel. Currently, I am just getting into making beer (only 2 batches so far) and I am planning on making 1 gallon batches of mead, apfelwein, and kombucha. I am certainly getting into fermenting, and DIY/homesteading projects in general. I want to make cheese too.
My father will give me the crock, but I want to make sure that I will use it. I don't want it taking up space in the basement. So my question is the following: Are there good ways to make use of a 10 gallon crock? For wine? As mash tun? Please help me with this decision.
Thanks!
