I was actually thinking of going smaller and getting a 10 gallon Brute to press into, but instead I think I'll try strategy 2 - press into 2 carboys then rack back into cleaned Brute, then back into carboys. Not doing splash racking when going back to the Brute, and maybe splash racking under vacuum with the All In One when going back to the carboys for gross lees settling.Our household consumption is only a little over 1 bottle a week so unless I start giving away or sharing a lot more bottles, I think the 20 gallon is the perfect size for a yearly red wine, plus doing white or fruit wines in smaller batches throughout the year. Plus it fits in the back seat of the car - perfect for bringing back must when I can crush and destem at the vineyard as I did this year!
