    Im freaking out. What have I done wrong?

    What I'm worried about is that I sealed my barrel and it didn't blow up. I didn't know about but apparently it should have bulged.

    Im freaking out. What have I done wrong?

    I'm making wine for the first time. Here is what I have done so far. I bought 26 kg of grapes to make red wine. I gave it to someone to crush it with a grapecrushing machine. I brought the barrel home and put half kilogram of rock candy(flavorless,coloreless,plain sugar) to it. Pic of the candy...
