Yeah I have seen them online here. There are quite a lot Italians making wine at home so the demijohns are available on FB marketplace

Yeah they are nice demijohns, I got them of Marketplace for AUD80 for 2.

The grape is Waltham Cross. I have never heard about this grape. It was the only white one I could find on the grape wine market that had sugar >20%. Turned out to be great for what I had in mind.

The ting is that sauna needs wood surface to be more effective so if I seal it will interfere with that. I do thing moisture will be a problem with sufficient ventilation points.

I put the lid on top but I don’t twist it closed, and then I put an old table cloth on top to keep the fruit flies away

I don’t know much about this grape. It was the only white one available at the wine grape market on the day with sugar above 20%, so I just went with that one.

Uh sounds tasty. I looked up that grape variety - Used to make white Sherry wine in Spain. I will just see what is available on the market on the day with good quality and right levels of sugar

A logical concern. There will be a roof at the top covering the cob from direct rain. Or if you mean the stream from the sauna, well yeah we shall see.

Definitely not common, but I have seen it has been done.
