Ran into a problem with my brewing today where my auto-siphon broke and I was not able to strain a much of the hops out as the beer was transfered from my brewkettle into my 5 gallon bucket. The bucket only has 4 gallons of beer fermenting and I should have a new auto-siphon being shipped next week. I would like to try to clarify this beer by transfering it to a 5 gallon glass carboy as a secondary. This will leave about 1 gallon of head space and I want to know if that is too much room to have in the secondary. The beer will be in the primary for about 10 days and then go into the secondary for about 20 days.
Any thoughts and thanks fpr your time to read this.
