The carboy (2.5 gal) is not full, it has about 3 qarts of low density wort in it (3 q of water, boiled w/about 1.5 cups of DME and a few tablespoons corn sugar, and about a teaspoon of yeast nutrient. Never did get a large krausen, but it's active, I think I'll rack off the "beer", though, as someone said, to avoid any "off" tastes. I like the one gallon jug idea!


let it go 3-4 days then put it in the fridge for a couple more. The cold temps will make all the yeast fall out so when you decant, your just dumping beer.
