I just popped a Wit into my fermentor on Sun night. All I had available was my 5 gal carboy so I did about a 4.75 gal batch with little headspace and just opted for a blowoff tube. Everything is bubbling nicely, but one thing I didn't consider was the loss of krausen/possible yeast through the blowoff as my foam grew.
For a wit, is there a minimum amount of headspace you need, and did I chance losing too much yeast in the first couple days of blowoff?
