First, let me say thanks to everyone who gives advice on here as it has been a great resource for learning about brewing.
Now for the question.
What would happen to the beer if brewing a reciepe or kit for 5 gallons and instead of addding water after making you wort up to the 5 gallon line in your bucket or fermenter you added only to say 4 gallons?
Reason I ask is I am thinking about fermenting in 5 gallon BB instead of the 6.5 bucket and am concerned about quality as well as head space Would a blow off tube take care of the potential mess on the ceilin?
What can I say, I want to watch it do its magic
