Hey there- I just started my second ever brew- an Imperial Stout. OG is 1.092, and I'm brewing a 5 gallon batch in a 6.5 gallon glass carboy- for my first brew (IPA) I simply used an airlock, but with the high gravity brew, I'm anticipating a lot of blow-off.
But, since this is my first high gravity brew, I don't really know what to expect- basically, I need to know what size container to use on the receiving end of my blow off tube. I really don't want it to fill up and overflow all over the floor.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers!
