I just bought a Stags Leap Merlot wine kit to make for my wife. I was wanting to find out if I would be okay using a 6.5 gallon carboy for a primary. I have never made wine before, so I don't know how active the fermentation is or how much krausen forms during fermentation of a wine. The yeast that came with the kit is Lavlin Bourgovin RC-212. I would rather not have to buy another bucket if I don't have to, but I also don't want any major eruptions from the carboy.
