I've got a double IPA kit coming from AHS and I have visions of exploding krausen given the high OG (1.088 - high og at the request of SWMBO so who am I to say no? ). I have 2 7.5 gallon buckets that I normally use as primaries, but I get the feeling that when I brew this IPA in a couple of weeks that if I pitch into one of my buckets and attach the fermentation lock the lid is going to pop off and scare everyone half to death in the middle of the night.
I have two 5 gal glass carboys, and I went and picked up 10' of 1.25" odx clear tubing for blow off in antipation of using one of the carboys as my primary on this one (with blow off into one of the buckets), but is that enough room? Should I pick up a 6.5 gal carboy or am I just being paranoid for no reason?
