hi i have a 5 gallon F.V. it looks like i can get another gallon in there,is it possable?i am making wow :

What sort of FV ?

If it's a bucket then 5 gallons is probably a sensible maximum.

If it's one of those ‘5 gallon’ closed fermenters with a 4" screw top, they actually hold 30 litres (6.66 gallons) and after the ‘whoosh’ has subsided you can fill right up to the neck. Makes quite a lump if you've later got to lift it from floor to worktop though.

Got 2 of those on the go now with 6 gals in each, looks as though they have room for 1 1/2 gal more each, dont know why they are called 5 gal f v's, Dave NE
