Going to start a 5 gallon blueberry melomel today using D47. Planning on adding 10 pounds of blueberries in secondary with just the honey during primary. I typically primary in the 6.5 and then rack to the 5 for secondary but I'm wondering if I'll need the extra space the 6.5 provides when adding 10 pounds of blueberries as I've read they expand quite a bit. Suggestions?
