Hello again to my brewing brethern.
I intend on brewing a blonde ale all grain this evening. I have recently been given 4 carboys, and have been busy filling them. However, I am in a little pickle.
The only carboy I have left is a 6.5 gallon glass carboy, and I intend on putting 5.5 into the carboy to ferment. I have read somewhere that this could potentially cause a problem. I do have a 6 gallon carboy, but it is fully of delicious Apfelwein, and I really don't want to rack it to a 5 gallon carboy.
Is it really going to be a problem to use a bigger carboy that has some head space? Thanks for all opinions and comments you may have.
