Having just racked my wine I have come to the conclusion that it is all a bit of a palaver, with a fair bit of unavoidable air-exposure, mess and losses, and I'm thinking one big vessel would be easier. Does anyone use one of those stainless steel fermenters with a conical bottom, floating air-tight lid and tap? If so, how would you rate it – how do you rack it, would you need two? They are quite expensive.
Secondly, my SG hasn't changed from 1006/1009 (I have five carboys on the go) since last racking in December. Does this mean it's stuck (it's been in an unheated garage all winter) and if so is there a remedy?
