I agree, i used a 5 gallon carboy for primary one time and learned my lesson! You need ALOT more headspace when you got a big beer in primary. A 6.5 gallon carboy with a half inch blow off tube never fails me!

I only cold crash if im gonna keg the beer. If im going to bottle it i just let it sit for another week or so after its done fermenting to help it clear up a bit more.

Correct. Just tap water. All you are doing is measuring the dead space. Put 3 in and let it drain into a container so you can measure what you get back with the tun sitting level, dont tilt it for this measurment.
