I was wondering if there would be any ill effect (i.e. oxidation) by fermenting a 3 gallon batch of IIPA in a fermenter bucket designed for a 5 gallon batch. Would it turn out alright? Also, with all of that extra headspace, would I still need a blow-off tube? I'm sure this is a naive question, but I couldn't find an answer by searching. Thank you.
