I don't plan well
I currently have a brew dry-hopping in my secondary at the moment. I need to do a tertiary on it to clarify, but the only vessel I have to rack it to is a 6.5 gallon carboy. I figure with the brew that the hops soaked up, I'm going to have about 4.5 gallons. That's a whole lotta headspace, and I doubt there's much left for the yeast to create enough CO2 to fill it.
So, my plan was to prep a little DME mixture and rack on top of it in the tertiary. I just want to create a little CO2... so how much is too much? I was thinking 1 cup water and 1 oz DME. Sound about right? Too much?
