Hi all,
I am looking to do the 5L simple all grain and am looking for a suitable FV. This one from MM says "perfect for 5L batches", but also says "Volume: 5L filled to brim". I would have thought I need more space for a 5L batch to avoid a mess coming out of the airlock, but I guess people use 5L demijohns etc, so maybe it would be ok. Can anyone offer any advice on the size of FV required?
 
I would go for the 10L one they do for not much more money, you'd have plenty of room for a big krausen, you'll need the extra room if you ever use kveik.
