Hey,
I have been thinking about going smaller. I want to start doing 2.5 gallon batches instead of the 5 gal i have been because I want to turn over my beers faster to get more variety. My equipment is all sized for 5 gal obviously and I am trying to figure out what I need to make the switch. Is there any reason why I can't continue to use my brew bucket as a primary fermenter? I know that there will be a lot of head space but if I only plan on doing a primary in there and only leaving it in as long as that takes the co2 created by fermentation should blanket the beer and keep it safe. right? If not, what would you recommend?
thanks for the advice
