A friend of mine and I are assembling the proper equipment for making mead. We got a really good deal on some 7.5 gallon glass carboys, so we figured 'hey.. lets use these'.. also seeing as we don't have any other glass containers, we are kinda locked in to using them. So..
What would you guys recommend we do as far as a recipe with this kind of volume. Are there any special considerations, or do we just brew 5 gallons and then rack it into the glass after a few days? (seems a shame to waste all that space though.
I've also lined up a good source of honey, and a LHBS or two in the area will have some different kinds of yeast.
Thanks in advance, you guys seem great !
