I'm sure this has been covered over and over but could not find a specific answer. I am if course a newbie I bought a wine making kit and it came with a 6.5 gallon carboy. I am suddenly much more interested in making some home brew rather than wine.
I plan on using a fermenter bucket for primary, but will a 6.5 gallon carboy be too much headspace for making a 5 gallon kit for secondary? I know the headspace is needed but not sure exactly how much during secondary and worried about oxidation....
What do you guys use?
Thanks, Chris
