I want to do an open fermentation for my next Belgian dark strong (5 gallon batch) using WLP500 which I have never used.
I want to do it in my Morebeer 8 gallon kettle. My only concern is that the 8 gallon kettle is not big enough and will therefore cause krausen to flow out the top and create a huge mess. Anyone have any thoughts? Does WLP500 create a huge krausen that will overflow in that pot?
Note: I will be slightly underpitching which might equal a smaller krausen
