I ordered a Plinian Legacy kit from NB. It says it is a 6 gallon batch due to trub. I have 6 gallon carboys, but I think that would result in a lot of lost beer from the blow off tube.
If I brew it at the 5 gallon level for a day or two and then wait for the krausen to subside and then add the other gallon when I change from the blow off to the air lock, will the yeast be able to use up all the oxygen before fermentation stops?
Would it be better to simply put the other gallon of wort in a sanitized gallon jug and just add it in after the krausen falls?
