Evening all,

Can any one tell me (or give an estimate of) how much wine is actually made when using a 100L vessel?

Sounds like a stupid/simple question but what I really want to know is the estimated volume which is retained, after racking off the fruit, lees, and further processes which remove volume.

I haven't got a 100L must going, but from the 5L brews I've done I do know that there's always some loss, and that loss varies dependent on the type of wine I'm making.

So how much would I get from a 100L approximately?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Chippy,

I've never actually recorded my losses as I've only done 5L musts, but with your estimate I can guess that (and giving decent wiggle room) I may lose up to 5L, that's actually not as significant as I had imagined.
