You'll need a couple of gallons of head space when fermenting or you will make a big mess on the floor. Only other thing I used was what is called a blow-off tube. It's like a siphon tube but as wide as the opening of the carboy. All the foam/yeast etc blows through the tube into a bucket with some kmeta solution or something of the sort to keep nasties from travelling back up the tube.But, if it gets clogged, watch out!  I cleaned my roof in the hallway once when it clogged when I was at work (in an apartment before I bought my house).The White Labs 007 is what I've used, love that yeast!I'd still add a pound more base malt if you can.</blockquote>
