  Just bottled my first 2 gallon batch of this. Since I'm a bit impatient and didn't want to wait

  adding them i...

  Ok, sorry to raise this thing from the dead yet again, but I was looking for answers on this

  secondary. My true curiosity is what would you use for a secondary?To respond to your question,

  Are you planning on racking to a secondary?Not sure, that hose on there is pretty tiny, not
  sure what I'd do for a filter on it... You think it'd be a good idea since I used the bread
