Fermcap for 5 gallon bucket

[kevin476]

So I cannot get 6.5 gallon buckets for under $20 dollars up here has anyone tried to use Fermcap to ferment a 5 gallon batch in a 5 gallon bucket?

Well I just ordered some from northern brewer, I hope it works because the shipping was outrageous!

Fermcap is great stuff, but it won't let you do a five gallon batch in a five gallon bucket.

Bummer, I guess they are actually 5.75 even though they are called 5, I was really hoping to pull it off. An ale pale here is over $20 without spigot and a 6.5 gallon carboy is $55 I refuse to pay that.

Oh and a 5 gallon bucket is $5
