Are you using your bottling bucket as your primary fermenter? I have a 6.5 gallon ale pail bucket used as my primary and then a separate 6.5 gallon bucket with a spigot for bottling.

Exactly. I'm using my bottling bucket as my primary and don't have a second bucket. I do however have a clean carboy

I can't keep my hands off of mine, even though it is only kegged for 2 weeks. I love it. It's a good summer beer like they said, fruity flavors yet light. Good texture and light in color. My OG was a little lower than the recipe stated but all in all, nice good summer beer with a good head retention.

Well, if it were me, and I was in your shoes.... I would do a secondary fermentation for 2 weeks in the carboy. Which will give you plenty of time to either clean and sanitize your bucket or buy a new one

P.S. my current paitersbier has been in secondary for almost a week now... I have been fighting the urge to keg it on a daily basis. I love this beer.

I made this last night from the NB recipe. My LHBS didn't have pilsen extract so I used their extra pale malt extract which Im told contains pilsen malt. I did the pre-steep with carapils though.

OG was 1.042 and 12 hours later I'm already getting foam from my 7.9 gallon primary bucket airlock. My plan is to primary 2 weeks, secondary 2 weeks and hope to be drinking it July 4. I'll take the advice and only add in one extra ounce of priming sugar.

I bottled using an auto-siphon from the primary fermented. Went smoothly. Hopefully all carbed up and good to go in a week or so. I can't wait!

Ordering the ingredients for this off of brewmasterswarehouse.com. They dont have tradition hops, figured I could use hallertau since tradition is a type of hallertau, would this work?

Brewed this on thursday and man that yeast is a crazy. Even with a blow off tube it is crazy bubbling away and some foam even got in the tube. I ended up on the higher side with a little over 5.5 gallons, probably should have boiled for a little longer but it should all work out in the end with trub loss.

Excited to drink this one.
