I have a 6 gallon carboy and its got a small hairline on the top of it. I used it for beer- no issues- im just careful. VERY CAREFUL
Id like to retire it to an apfelwein producer- but im wondering is that extra head space going to throw anything off with this? I know I can top it off to 6 gallons- but I only have enough corn sugar to make 5 gallons.
Can I supplement with something common around the house- and get that extra gallon in? Will the natural "sugars" in grape juice be sufficient enough to not need more corn sugar- if I threw a gallon in?
Should I just ride out the 5 in the 6?
