Learn something new every day. while it makes perfectly good sense, the fact that the sugars would settle from first to second running would be WAY down on my list of things to check too.

I'm mostly curious about the base beer itself, but appreciate your...

you can choose a bottling bucket, or use a carboy as your primary, and use the bucket as a bottling bucket. I find it easiest with 2 vessels to use, but both can be buckets for the sake of ease and...
