Fermentation day 3

[Crobrewer]

Hi guys!!!i gotta question, this is my fermenter after 72h (pils) til now the krausen was huge and the air lock was going crazy .now its just seteling.Am i gonna have a problem with this big air space????

Probably less than ideal, but the CO2 produced by the yeast has most likely pushed most of the oxygen out of the headspace...

Wow, thats an interesting "fermenter" you have there. But to answer your question, in theory all of the head space post-fermentation is nothing but CO2 due to the continuous off-gassing during the fermentation. Unless you open the vessel a bunch and somehow disturb the CO2 "blanket" on top of your beer, I would say that you will be ok until it comes time for racking.

Im planing to rack it to a secondary around day 7 into a smaller ferm. and thanx guys for the quick post!!!
