5gal or 6 gal

[ebard]

So I started my first batch of wine . Not wanting to over do it or under I started a 5gal batch in a 6gal setup not thinking that I would have a 1gallon of air space should I worrie about this extra air space?

Hey,ebard.
I'm sure you have an air lock on your ferment. The CO2 from the ferment will drive off any air in the 6 gal jug. After primary, move to a jug that allows little head space ( 5 gal carboy). It'll be OK. Don't fret.

If it's a kit wine, make it to six gallons. Otherwise it'll be really, really bad. (Too acidic and possibly the yeast will clunk out before it goes dry)
