Question, I have a 5 Gallon batch of Autumn Amber Ale in a Primary fermenter. After 2 weeks I want to bottle but I was going to put 2 gallons in a secondary fermenter to experiment with some added ingredients like Lemon Zest. If I put 2 gallons of beer in a 6.5 gallon bucket to ferment another week is that to much head room? Should I get a smaller fermentation bucket? If so how small?
Also, how long should I do a secondary fermentation? Is 1 week long enough for an added ingredient?
