Ok... after alot of time thinking about and reading posts on the site, I have decided instead of using 5 gallon carboys I am going to use 3 gallon carboys. I figure with the small apartment I have and the damn Phoenix heat, it would be easier to work with. I figure I can buy one of those small "college" refridgerator, which would make it alot easier to keep the fermentors at the best temp. I still have a few questions...
1. Is there enough head space for fermentation with 2 1/2 gallons of wort in a 3 gallon bottle?
2. If I don't use all the malt extract, can the extra be stored and reused at a later date, for how long could it be store?
3. Is 5 gallon pot large enough for a 2.5 gallon full boil?
Thanks for all the great advice!!!
