I want to start small, and make 1 and 1/2 gallon batches of Mead.
I can ferment in an Ale Pail, but then I need to rack to a container to age.
I want to minimize/eliminate head space.
What aging vessels do you suggest?
I was thinking I could use a glass 1 gallon or 1.2 gallon jug with stopper.
Those might be difficult to rack from, if I can't get an auto siphon in.
I guess the solution is to use a regular siphon?
Using proper SNA, how many times do you expect I'd need to rack beyond the initial racking from fermenting bucket to aging vessel?
How thick a coating of settled yeast would you wait to accumulate before racking?
