My last batch was 5 gallons, plenty of headspace ...
My current batch is six gallons, I've got a mess to clean up when I get home from work. I rigged up this contraption as I was headed out the door to go to work to try to keep it closed till morning. SWMBO has informed me that it has blown the lid up again and sprayed krausen all over the inside of my chamber. I almost used a blow off tube for this batch, but the one i have is nasty and I didn't want to drive to home depot to get a new one.
