I've done some searching but couldn't find a definitive answer.
I have a 5 gallon batch of extract fermenting now, and my original plan was to use one of the 5g carboys I have for lagering. However, they are both aging some wine right now and I'd rather not bottle either. I do have a couple 6g carboys - is that too big for lagering 5 gallons? If I have to I'll bottle my Merlot - it will have been aging about 3 months when I'm ready to lager but I was hoping to go a bit longer.
