Hello Everyone....
I am in the process of brewing my first batch an irish stout. I have the brew fermenting in a 6.5 gallon glass carboy. The gravity is getting close to where it needs to be & I want to proceed with a secondary fermenter.
Can i use a 6.5 gallon bucket for this? Everything I have read says to keep the secondary as close to 5 gallons as possible in an attempt to minimize oxygen.
or would i be better off to finish out the fermentation in the primary?
I just want the first batch to be successful.
