Relatively new to brewing here: have only made two 1 gallon batches - they turned out pretty good.
But looking to make 5 gallon batches from now on but have a question about oxidation....I normally use a slightly larger primary and then a smaller secondary fermenting container but am going to just do a longer primary and see how it turns out without a secondary.
Will a 5 gallon batch work well in a 6.5 gallon ale pail if I plan on keeping it in there for three weeks?? Or am I going to have oxidation issues?
Please help a new brewer out.
