I just brewed a 7.5 gal batch yesterday. Will the bigger volume take longer to be done? I pitched 2 pkgs. of US05 in so there is plenty of yeast, it's been sounding like drum all day long from the blow=off tube bubbles
Will fermenting take longer?

Shouldn't take any longer to ferment.
Might take longer to drink, though

That is part of my Master plan
yeast always try to grow to a population that matches the amount of fermentables, so it should only take longer if its a high gravity beer, cold temps, or a particular strain of yeast that's known to go slow.
I still don't understand, however, why people's Belgium Wit's seem to ferment forever. perhaps I need to brew one!
