She seems to spend most of the year thinking we are broke and forcing us to scrimp and save and them suddenly she can afford a new car or a trip to Disneyland. Funny how that works, and she wonders why I make my own booze.

Like THIS I have found I can hide another 3 gallons of mead in the corner parts at the back and sides without the wife seeing them. Unfortunately I have used up all my demijohns and now have nothing to rack in to.

How long do you rack them into the demijohns for?

them I leave them in the second until it settles and clears, rack once more, leave until clear and then bottle. Takes different times for different wines but it means you should always have an empty demijohn to rack in to.
You can leave the finished wine in the demijohn for ages without bottling it if you so chose to, some wine makers say its better to mature in the demijohn rather than in a bottle but its personal choice. Maturing is different with different wines too. When I make a red I drink it all within a month of bottling, when its Mead I leave for 6-12 months.

But I am thinking about getting a secondary fermenter for the beer to make bottling easier and to get rid of some of the yeast gunk.

I nick them and clean them out and do my large batches in those, Its all food grade so should be fine.

Surely there was an 80s band called Too Much Information?
