Im running out of brew bins...help
Can I put a 10 litre brew in a 23 litre FV and not worry about all the dead space causing a possible infection?
Fermenting, ChippyDo you mean for fermenting or storing, if its the former then i am sure its OK because the CO2 will protect the beer the latter i am not so sure about.
Ive run out of 'drinkable' beer and need to get my skates on
I am in the same boat with my stock, i hadn't realised how low it had got so I've had a busy day.
Got about 9litres into my LARGE FV and cooling now. Will pitch the yeast either tonite or tomorrow. Then, if Im lucky, Im going to do an IPA tomorrow, again only 10 litres. I've got about 20 bottles of this Sierra Nevada stuff I made and its bloody awful. I might bite the bullet and chuck it down the drain. That was an expensive mistake!! Then, well, we will see. Ive got a partial extract recipe for Adnams Ghost Ship, so may do that...busy, busy, busy.The stuff i make is in the bottle in less than two weeks and drinkable straight away, i like reading the beer threads but haven't the patience or room to make it myself, Mrs Tea is not a beer drinker so that would also double my workload and take up even more space.

Cheers...banged it in and bubbling away nicelyi've been doing this for my 10L batches without trouble...so I hope not.
Having brewed for the best part of 40 years I never worried or had a care in the world. Join a forum and paranoia and worry set in...I wonder why??Just made a 1 gallon batch of Bramble wine and only had a 5 gallon FV free for the initial fermentation. Have just put it in a demijohn after about 10 days in the FV and it's doing fine. CO2 is heavier than air so as your brew ferments the CO2 layer just gets thicker and thicker and pushes the air out of the FV.
