I have my first gallon of cider in primary. Once I bottle that cider, I am thinking of starting my second batch, hopefully using more cider. I have a few questions about larger batches.
1. How much headroom is recommended for cider? If I want to do 5 gallons of cider, do I have to have a 6 gallon carboy?
2. Has anyone used better bottles for this? I have heard that they leave a funny taste in the brew. Is it worth the extra money for glass, or does it not make much difference?
