Hey all-
I'm just getting into the hobby/obsession and am trying to get all the equipment I need.
My question is what size carboy do I need? I know people use 5,6 and 6.5g carboys, but what's the difference? I realize that you want some room in case of blowoff, but you don't want too much room for it to get too much oxygen.
I'm planning on brewing 5g batches to start.
