First batch of beer has come and gone. It was delicious and I was impressed by how nice it turned out. Lessons were learned and I'm eager for more.
I was able to get a hold of an old glass water cooler bottle and my intent was to use it for my secondary fermentation (I've already got a glass 6.5 gallon for primary). Well last night I was calibrating it with volume markers and at 5 gallons, the level was right into the neck. If I still have 5 gallons to transfer to the secondary, is this enough room at the top or am I going to have problems?
If it matters, I'm brewing the Brewers Best Holiday Ale with the Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale.
