Hi all,

I am planning to do another gallon of beer and put it in a gallon DJ. Does anyone think there would be a problem if I fill the DJ to the shoulder and save some wort to top up later. I do a lot of turbo cider and I do this so the foam doesn't escape throughout the airlock.

Cheers.
 
if you have no probs doing this with TC then your hygiene is OK :) so u should be OK..afaik getting a nasty or unpleasant wild yeast in the put by liquor is the danger, so just do what u do for your TC :)
a lidded nappy bucket circa 10l may be an alternative FV option for such a small brewlength
 
Thanks Fil.

I have a10 L FV but the seal around the lid is poor. I've done loads of TC and never had a bad batch yet just lucky I suppose.
