Hey guys. Have a 1 gallon melomel going that has been fermenting in a 2 gallon bucket. Primary is complete.
I wasn't concerned with oxidation from the extra headspace in the primary, but now I want to rack to a secondary and add 1.5lbs of Blackberry puree.
Is it OK to rack to a 2 gallon bucket, even though I'll have 3-4 inches of headspace at the top? How long will it take for fermentation to kick off again to fill that headspace with Co2? Better ideas? Thanks for the help.
