I have 60 litres fermenters and I don't want to make 45/50 litres batches everytime.
I read that the headspace in fermenter is good to provide oxygen to yeast in lag phase and I therefore would like to know if it can ever be a problem for yeast if I ferment 20 litres in my 60 litres fermenter?
If It is not a problem, can it be better for the yeast comparing to fermenting 50 litres in that same vessel?
I know it is not efficient but I don't want to buy too many containers if it would be good as well in my 60 L fermenters.
