I'm going to try my first all grain batch via deathbrewers stovetop all grain method. Because I want to brew a a weizenbock which calls for more grain than the 12 lbs that deatbrewer says will work, I have decided to scale the recipe back to 4 gallons.
I only have a 6 gallon better bottle and a bucket to ferment in. I have been using the better bottle as my primary because my bucket has a stain in it and I am suspect of the seal on the lid.
Now to my question. Can I ferment 4 gallons in a 6 gallon carboy? Will there be too much headspace to do an extended fermentation with no secondary?
