So I have brewed one batch that is still in the primary and am itching to start another. My first batch has been in the primary for one week and still bubbling pretty good. I know I know, bubbles are a bad way to judge. I am not planning on removing it right now. I do plan on racking to a secondary when the time comes though.
I received this kit fro Christmas..

So I have on batch in the primary.
I have 2 five gallon BBs just sitting.
One BB will be for secondary.
Can I use a 5 gallon BB as a primary for a 5 gallon batch. I have a 3 piece airlock which I can attach a blow off tube too. My question is how much Krauzen would over flow? I keep my first batch in a coat closet so this is where I would keep the second one. I dont want to coats to smell like krauzen, if it even smells, not sure.
I guess what I am worried about is the overflow and the smell. Not worried about making a mess. I figured putting the blow off hose into a jar or glass filled with sanitized water and placing that into a bucket would eliminate the mess. I am not eve sure it would make any mess with over flow anyway. I guess that is why I am posting this.
Starting to ramble, been drinking a growler of IPA from a local brewery I tried today
Thanks for the help..
