yes no need to worry.. even if your fermentation doesnt even create enough c02 to move the airlock, if its fermenting, it has created enough to generate a layer above the beer.. co2 is heaver than air, so no need to worry..
i have fermented 1-2 gallon batches in 6.5 gallon glass carboys without a prob
I have a similar question. Should I make it a new thread?
I'm looking at switching to a glass carboy for my primary fermenter instead of a plastic bucket. I see 5 gallon, 6 and 6.5 gallon sizes. My thought is I'd want the least headspace possible.
True? Thanks.
I say False, for a primary, you want as much headspace as possible, just ask the many of us that have had a "wort explosion" out the top of a fermenter that was too small...hahah. Ok, you've been warned.
