disturbed said: Yea I was looking at wine making supplies and was wondering if all the carboys and hydrometers and other shit was really necessary just to make concentrate wine.
I guess need to read up on this more, but could I just use like a carlo rossi bottle or somethin to ferment in (I think those are 1 gallon)
pbbbthhhhh...... you dont need all of that shit. ive even made real grape wine. those expensive tools make it nicer, but for now cheaper is better for me.
the only think i would suggest buying is an autopriming siphon. it will make the whole racking process alot easier and less likely to contaminate. but for a while i did it the old fashioned way...... hose, suck, siphon. lol
and yes those botles will work GREAT, i have quite a few of them for racking(second ferment). they are 3 liter bottles though. not quite a gallon.
also. if you are unhappy with the little bit of sludge left on the bottom of the second ferment, you can rack one more time, and adding a teaspoon or two of sugar to add some extra co2, pressure and carbonation. just dont forget, in the 3rd racking, it is absolutely important that you leave no more than 1/2" to 1" of space for air in the bottle. otherwise contamination is more likely. i suggest if youre going for a 3rd racking, to rack back into another 5gallon jug for the second racking, then split into smaller bottles for 3rd racking.

Damn, man. I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I wish you all the best.
That hooch you're making sounds decent. I've never tried using honey before. Good idea!
