I just made a batch of this, but I messed up. I was only going to do 4 gallons, so I went and bought my apple juice. I meant to buy 4 gallons but I bought 4 half gallons, and I had a lot going on today so I just started pouring without realizing. So I used 2 gallons of apple juice, wine yeast and 1 lb of brown sugar but I have it all in a 5 gallon bucket. Will I have any issues leaving just 2 gallons sit in a 5 gallon bucket for that long?
Yeah the only problem is you only have 2 gallons to drink! This stuff is super forgiving. Hell my bottling procedure is hold a flip top under the bottling bucket spigot (I ferment in bottling buckets) and just open the spigot then flip the lid closed on the bottle when full, let it sit in a cabinet for 3 or 4 days, then into the fridge, carbonated apple-y goodness. Heck I don't even sanitize the bottles, just wash and rinse them.
