Hi all, I'm brewing a keg for an event and want to keep some beer for myself, so I am shooting for 5.5 gallons in a 6.5 gal bucket and then just before dry hopping I plan to rack 1 gallon to a jug to be left longer before bottling. The remaining 4.5 gallons will be dry hopped and then kegged. My question is, will the 4.5 gallons be fine left in the bucket during the dry hop, or should I rack it to a 5 gallon carboy?
It's a bit of a time crunch and I want to be sure the beer has fully attenuated before bottling it, otherwise I'd just leave it all in the bucket the whole time.
