Hello guys, I have a few 5 gallon carboys, and I would like to use them to ferment. My question is, could I only use 4 gallons of water (for a 5 gallon batch recipe) during primary fermentation (to keep some room for the krausen within the carboy), then top off the extra gallon of water when I transfer to secondary???
Would that hurt anything only fermenting with 4 gallons instead of 5??? I dont think it will, but figure it might be worth a shot to ask here. I have a true brew dark beer kit that im going to brew up this weekend, and figured I would ask here before I do.
