Pitched my first 5 gallon batch of pee yesterday with some jump started EC-1118 and after 24hr I'm starting to see an occasional gas bubble. I just realized that I only have 6 gallon carboys available at this time.
Here are what I see as my best options:
a. I'm expecting to receive a large lot of carboys/bottles as early as next week from a retired mead maker. Not sure how long it will take to reach the 1.050 SP stage or of the necessity of racking in a couple of days after the 1.050 mark is reached.
b. I have a 7 week old batch of Apfelwein in a 5 gallon carboy that I could bottle and free up the vessel. I was hoping to make it to 3mo with the apfelwein before bottling
c. I could use a 6 gallon carboy assuming that the headspace wouldn't be an issue.
Any thoughts sure would be appreciated.
