I have a 7 gallon stainless steel conical which I recently used for the first time. As I was transferring my wort from the kettle to the conical, it occurred to me that I had no way to tell when I had reached 5 gallons of volume! Typically I will have to add a little water to get to 5 gallons, but I didn't want to guess where that was. As a result, I ended up with a higher OG, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I'd like to top off to 5 gallons in the future.
Hence my question: what is the best way to mark the 5 gallon level in a conical? Can I simply make a line with a permanent marker, or would that be a no-no? Thanks!
