Tripels, S3 is right, start out with 6gal target, after trub, hot break, you put 5.5 in primary, then IF you xfer, you'll get close to 5gal finnished brew.
Yes, I have a 2" wide piece of 2X8 I use to tilt the fermentor and bottling bucket. I actually try for just a bit of yeast to make sure I get sound carb. All the cloudy stuff has fallen out by then and if you pour the bottle right you get clear beer.
