Fermenting an old ale and lost around 88 oz through the blow off tube leaving me with about 4.5 gallons in primary. I was not expecting this much loss, and was originally worried since I'm planning on racking onto soaked oak cubes in secondary, and didn't want this much head space.
Coincidentally I've been thinking about getting a 3 gallon plastic carboy for smaller batches and perhaps trying my hand at mead making.
Plan is to get the 3 gallon carboy, rack into this with the soaked oak cubes and bottle the remaining 1.5 gallons after a 5-6 week stay in primary.
As a homebrewer you gotta be able to adjust to changing conditions beyond your control
