By dividing five gallons of wine into several smaller containers (such as a 3-gallon carboy, a 1-gallon jug, and two 1/2-gallon bottles), you will be able to keep the larger containers full while providing yourself with small containers of wine for consumption.
The elimination half life of prednisone is around 3 to 4 hours. This is the time it takes for your body to reduce the plasma levels by half. It usually takes around 5.5 half lives for a drug to be completely eliminated from your system.
This is really safer than taking 10-21 days to taper off the high dose. I want to make this perfectly clear. If you have been treated with a course of prednisone, even in moderate or low doses, for more that about 3 weeks you are likely to need a prednisone taper. Many experts would use the 3 week time frame for this, although some would use as little as 2 weeks, and others might allow up to 4 weeks or even more.
