Maybe just ovethinking this one, but ive been thinking about doing smaller batches to try out beer styles ive never had, and experiment in general. Will brewing a 2.5 gal batch (5 gal recipe halved) in a 3 gal carboy be okay? My question is about the excess headspace.
Thanks
Headspace will not be an issue. However, I second using a blowoff tube. Or, you could use a few drops of Fermcap to keep the krausen down. With a smaller batch, it'd be a shame to lose any beer as blowoff.
I have never had a problem with using a 3 gallon sized water jug or better bottle for a 2.5 gallon batch. Never needed a blowoff tube either. But it never hurts to have the fixins for one, just in case.
