Hi,
I'm planning on starting BIAB brewing in the next couple of weeks. I have a 12L stockpot so I've decided to make 10L batches. I currently have a 30L plastic bucket fermenter which I assume will be too big for fermenting 10L batches. I have a source for 12L and 20L plastic bucket fermenters (unfortunately no 15L ones). I'm a little wary of using a 12L bucket for a 10L batch but was thinking I could use a 20L bucket for the primary and (when necessary) a 12L bucket for a secondary.
Does this sound ok? Is 10L ok in a 20L primary? Is this too much headroom?
Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew
