Hello. First time wine maker here. Figured as I love wine that I would try my hands at making some myself.
Been planning this for about a year or 2 doing research and prepping. Well i have started with a recipe now and am about 2 weeks into my first batch. It is time to switch from the fermenting bin to the demijohn... the recipe was suppose to make 1 gallon of wine. Well when racking to the demijohn i realized i have closer to 2 gallons. I had only anticipated the smaller amount so I only got 2 one gallon demijohns.
This posses a couple questions. The first, I had added yeast only for 1 gallon, can I add more to compansate for the extra amount or am I stuck? The second, if I split the batch between the 2 demijohns will this affect my wine or should I get larger demijohns?
Thank you so very much in advanced. I look forward to everyone's advise.
