JAO doesn't foam much, but I would never make 5 gallons of anything that ferments in a 5 gallon carboy, I've learned the hard way.

Remember in the beginning of you fermentation, Oxygen is your yeasts friend, it isn't till later that you want to avoid it. With JAO long before Oxygen would become a problem your bucket will be filled with CO2, so not a problem.

When I make a 5 gallon batch, I just put it all together, stick it in the back of my closet and forget about it for 2 months. Occasionally I check the airlock to make sure that there is still vodka in it.

At the end of 2-3 months check to see if the fruit had dropped, and if so then at that time rack into your 5 gallon carboy.


Cheers
Jay
