This may be in the wrong place, so if it is, sorry. I am trying to find if there is a general rule of thumb for how much head space you leave in a connicle fermenter so you don't end up with a mess.
I want to build my own for doing 5, 6, and 10 gallon size final batches, so I am trying to figure out which hopper size I should buy. It seems as though most people I know locally leave about 30% head space in their fermenter, but I wasn't sure if I could get away with less.
