Hey,
Planning to brew a sour fruit beer and split into three for the secondary fruit additions. Was thinking it'd be easiest to use my SS conical, but thinking that contamination might be a problem with the bugs in the ECY bug farm blend. Option two is to split into plastic buckets. Be low on headspace though. How vigorous is the primary with ECY01? I haven't used it before. If I go plastic the buckets will have maybe 1.5 gallon- 2 gallons head space (6.75 gallons into each in the large buckets sold by AHS) as I think they hold 8 gallons. Also, what is the recommended fermentation temp for that blend?
thanks
