I'm wanting to make a 5 gal. batch and split into 2 fermenters to try 2 different kinds of yeast.
That means I'll end up with 2.5 gal of brew in a 5 gal carboy for each batch.
Does all that air space create a problem, any off flavors, etc?
If it's an ale, it'll be 1 week in the carboy (secondary).
Lager would be 3-5 weeks (secondary and lagering).
