What do you do with the extra volume, batch size looks like 6 gallons
I may end up bottling the extra

looks tasty! how are you adding the beans? scraped and chopped in vodka?
I was going to but decided to cut and scrape to expose insides and add to fermenter as an experiment. I may soak a bean or two in some bourbon and add that to the keg as well

And I remembered to put the valve in the open position
Those Speidel fermenters are nice, right? Mine is currently occupied with Vienna Garage Lager, but not for long. Does your blow off tube go into a jar of StarSan? If not, your system is open to the atmosphere.And I remembered to put the valve in the open position

Because more beer is better! I have on occasion pushed the volume in the BK or fermenter because the beer was something I really liked and wanted to make it last as long as possible by making as much as possible.
