If you shake and tilt the bucket back for a few days before racking, the trub will not be anywhere close to the spicket

Thanks folks. I'm on a serious budget, but will eventually get a second pot, aiming for a 5 gallon, so that collectively(in the 4 gallon I currently use, plus the 5 gallon I will get) I can boil 6 gallons at any one time without fear of overflow. Then I will be in a much better position to do...

I'm new to this whole thing, kinda just experimenting and learning from error and talking to people who have done the same can you brew a wort, pich the yeast, allow to ferment for a few days, and then add more wort? There is a reason I ask. I have a small pot, 4 gallons, allowing me to...

Thanks for this thead people, especially mmb. Very helpfull. I am also new to home brewing, and just brewed my first batch of all grain. I wasn't able to check the gravity after brewing, so have no idea how efficient my process is. After 10 days in my secondary though, the gravity is stuck at...

That might make more sense for me. I wasn't looking forward to mashing 7lbs of wheat. What do you think about all extract brews?
