I am currently brewing my first batch of mead, and believe it is ready to be racked.
About two gallons of must was made in a five gallon, and has been fermenting for about three weeks. I was planning on buying a two gallon carboy in order to transfer from the bucket without introducing any new air, however I have found a six gallon carboy for a better price, and decided to purchase that one instead.
It is now time to rack the mead into another container, and I am wondering if any problems will occur from using a six gallon carboy, for secondary fermentation of a two gallon batch?
Additionally, as this is my first run at brewing anything, any tips and suggestions about the fermentation process, both primary and secondary, will be greatly appreciated.
