Hey there,
I have got one of those Cider house kits. I had not realized that the instructions call for a 7.9G fermenter. All I have are standard 5G carboys available.
So my question: Is it ok for me to brew this in a smaller fermenter? I realize I will likely get less product but will it affect the quality?
Instructions are basically:
Mix the stuff up in 3G of boiling water
Top up to 6G of water
So if I I adjust a bit and say do 2.5-3G hot water and then top up to 5G. Doable?
Any thoughts?
Cheers!
