I have recently received the "plinian legacy double IPA extract" kit from northern brewer. After closely reading the instructions this ipa makes a 6 gallon batch to account for the amount of hops added.
My concern is a 6.5 gallon fermenter won't have enough room for the expansion during fermentation. I was wondering if a large blow off setup could work or if I should get a larger fermenter (and where to get this larger fermenter).
I currently have:
6.5 gallon ale pail
6.5 gallon big mouth
6 gallon pet better bottle
5 gallon big mouth
