too much must!

i just made my first batch of must from a recipe (my first batch of wine was entirely packaged), and ran into one problem so far:

since all i have for containers at the moment are one gallon jugs, i ended up having more must then i could hold in one container. right now, ive got the extra must sitting in a seperate container, but im not sure what to do.

is there any way to add the extra must, without drastically affecting the wine? my guess would be to add the extra must either during the primary fermentation, or between fermentations, but im not entirely sure which to do or how to do it.....

help is very much appreaciated, and ive already convinced myself to get a 2 gallon jug before my next batch =)

Put it in two jugs. Remember you want a lot of head space when it is fermenting strongly and as long as it is under an airlock it is fine. Once it is finished and you rack it off the sedemnent it will probably fit in one jug. In cases like this, it really pays to have some 1/2 gal. jugs. I invested in some long ago and it really comes in handy. Your local wine shop will have them.
