Im about to brew my first batch, it's going to be a 5 gal recipe. The only fermenter I could get my hands to is a 5 gal carboy. I've read in other threads about scaling down a 5gal recipe to 4 gal since i dont want to overfill my fermenter. Sorry if its a dumb question, but how do you scale down a recipe? Would you consider ok to fill it to 4.5gal and install a blowoff? Or scaling down? Thanks for all the help!
