Will adding yeast overflow my bucket

[blackspanish777]

OK going to add yeast to my peach wine this evening that has a start SG of 1080. Worried about overflow. Thoughts?

It does look questionable. I would normally prefer to have at least a couple of inches.

A lot does depend on the yeast and also the fermentation temps. You might be OK, but I would put a tin roasting pan under the bucket to catch any potential overflow.

From a previous post, we know that it will be Red Star Premier Cuvee. This is a low-foaming yeast.

I often have a bucket like that one filled to nearly the same point without problems. You should be fine.

Thanks guys. Greatly appreciate it. First time making wine not from a kit.
