Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum but have been reading these posts for a while now. I've brewed (and drank) one batch and have another fermenting right now. I was planning on making more this weekend after coming upon a few empty 5 gallon water-cooler style jugs. Are these alright to use as fermenters? I also don't know how to scale the recipe down to fit comfortably in a 5 gallon fermenter so I don't have a krausen-airlock catastrophe. Finally, if it is fine to use should i use an airlock or a blow off? Thanks for the help!
