The most common glass demijohn takes one gallon. That is 4.54 litres, or 8 pints, or the equivalent of 6 wine bottles. What does a demijohn look like?

I think cleaning is the key thing here in my opinion, if you use a plastic carboy (better bottle) to do your fermentation, they are going to get scratched if you clean them with any sort of abrasive pad. If you use a better bottle as your primary fermenter then the krausen that gets gummed up all the sides is going to be difficult to scrub off compared to using a glass demijohn where you can use a bottle brush. Your grapes will look ripe, feel firm and taste sweet. As though they were ready to eat in other words, except you're going to make wine with them. If they don't taste nice, the wine probably won't either. Demijohns have been commonly used in different cultures and languages, which is evident by the various translations and similar terms across different regions. Here is a list of some translations and their origins: Yes you can. There are some caveats to that though. There are essentially 2 simple ways to make cider.Some of the most common uses for demijohns include wine, beer, cider, and mead production. Thanks to their specific features, these bottles are designed to work well for both storage and fermentation processes. Press/mash/juice them, then strain the juice to get the bits out. We line a sieve with muslin to do this. The more bits you can remove now, the less sediment you'll have in your demijohn later.

Any fermenter you choose is going to have advantages or disadvantages but as long as you are comfortable using it then don’t worry about it.

Bottles that are embossed are either machine-made or made from a mold (a molded bottle can still be an antique), but definitely not mouth-blown (although sometimes the body can be made from a mold and the lip mouth-blown). Pontil MarksTo clean a demijohn, use warm water and a mild detergent, and then sanitise it with a food-grade sanitiser or a bleach solution. The barrel of beer or ale was equal to two kilderkins or 2⁄ 3 of a beer or ale hogshead. This is somewhat larger than the wine barrel. We usually find that the fermentation stops after about 4 weeks, give or take. Fermentation is the process of the yeast turning sugar into alcohol. The more sugar in the juice, the more sugar there is to turn into alcohol. So the longer it will take to ferment, and the stronger your final cider will be. Glass demijohns are often preferred over food grade plastic ones for several reasons that ensure the quality and taste of the beverage during fermentation and storage.
