Primary Fermentation

[Thomas]

Winoweenie, you obviously never made wine at home. A carboy is that 5 gallon glass jug that home winemakers use to make and store wine and that professional winemakers use as small workshops for samples.

If you are old enough, you might remember the glass bowl of water on top of the office water cooler--that is the carboy's parent. Today, I hear, they use plastic with water coolers, and I wish someone would have thought of that before I got my first job....
