hello!
i am a new homebrewer and am thinking of doing some small 1-2 gallon batches. 2 questions: can i use my 6.5 gal glass carboy for a 1-2 gallon batch for primary fermentation with that much headspace? Also, can I pitch a whole standard size yeast smack pack (wyeast) (5gal size) for 1-2 gallons or do i need to measure it out and split it up?
thanks!
