Balloon Wine
So, what's the going rate for bottles and balloons in prisons?
A bottle is 4 packs of cigarettes and a magazine.
A baloon is another pack of cigs and an extra helping of mashed potatoes.
Forget it. I need my taters!
But look at this. There is a recipe for balloon wine on this site and I did not find it on the search but I did find it when I was reading through all of the topics.

I feel like a dumbo, but anyway it was fun chatting here on this topic. thanks alot.
If you don't have an airlock, then a balloon will work just fine to keep bacteria out of the wine as it ferments. As far as reabsorption goes, yes a certain amount of CO2 is forced into the solution until the saturation point is reached. After the balloon has deflated, then it is a very good idea to siphon the wine off into another container leaving as much of the sediment behind as possible. I recommend balloon vinting in one gallon plastic milk jugs as a small party balloon will fit over the mouth without need of a rubber band. Just remember to degas the wine before drinking(stirring vigorously) or better yet treat it with potassium sorbate and a crushed campden tablet(potassium metabisulphite) and let the wine clarify over the span of a month or so.
