So, I am mainly doing 5 gallon batches. However, one comes along every so often that yields 5.25 gallons. Is a 6 gallon carboy good enough, or should I go to 6.5 gallon? Thanks.
I've had blowoff even in a 6.5 gallon carboy from a 5 gallon batch before. 7.9 gallon buckets work pretty well without blowoff tubes. (I know that's not what you asked)
I'd go 6.5. That extra half gallon of space makes a difference.
