I've tried squeezing the cube, but I can only squeeze so much. There's still headspace left.

If the near boiling wort is hot enough to sanitize the inner surfaces of the cube, shouldn't the hot vapor trapped in it be hot enough to sanitize the air in the headspace? What am I missing here?

Headspace in no-chill cube

It turns out the "5 gallon" HDPE cube I bought from US Plastics actually holds 6 gallons topped off. I'd rather not brew 6 gal. batches because I keg and a corny keg only holds 5 gal. So that means my no-chill cube will have a gallon of headspace. How bad is that much headspace?

Greetings!

I'm an eternal student of home brewing with 13 batches on my belt. I started two years ago, and since then, I've gone from extract to AG, chilling to no-chilling, and bottling to kegging. I still sparge for efficiency. In the future, I hope to learn yeast culture.
