Afternoon all,

I recently received a rather welcome yet surprising gift from my father in law; 4 glass demijohns.

Apparently he used to do a bit of wine brewing when he was younger. The DJ's were all in a bit of a state but have cleaned up beautifully.

My question is regarding their use. I've never used a demijohn before...

Are they a secondary fermentation vessel or a conditioning vessel?

Looking forward to using them, but just unsure what for....:-|

They are for everything primary, secondary and conditioning use it depends on what you use it for. I recommend looking at these links for inspiration
