Up until now I've been doing small 1 gal batches in carboys with stopper and blow off tube.
I want to make a batch of my IPA to be ready in time for superbowl so I gotta get cracking. All I have on hand is a standard 5 gal Home Depot bucket + lid so I was going to DIY a stopper/blowoff in it and use that.
How much headspace do I need to plan for? Do I target 4.5 gal? 4 to be safe? Yeast will be US-05.
Any tips for the blowoff in such a setup?
thanks guys!
