After several batches of testing, I'm going to brew a larger batch of cider tomorrow. I'm going to do 2 seperate 2gallon batches, using 2 5gallon carboys.
I had an issue with krausen going crazy when fermenting 1gallon of cider in a 1gallon carboy, so looking forward to the extra head space.
My worry/concern/question is if there will be any negative side effects from having so much head space/oxygen in each carboy?
(BTW, the reason I'm splitting the batch up is to finalize on yeast, using windsor in one for gluten-free and WL irish ale, which I had good success with before, in the other.)
