Ok, I made a big honking stout from northern brewer. I made about a half gallon more than called for because I slightly altered recipe by adding a little extra dme. Anyway I used wyyeast split the wort and yeast between two carboys added blow offtubes and have bad no issues that I'm aware of. I had good bubbling and am looking forward to moving to a secondary with bourbon laced vanilla beans. My question is : was it a mistake to have so much head space in the carboys? And what /where should I put the beer into for secondary? I only have 5gallon carboys, but I do have 6.5 gallon buckets. Thanks in advance.
