    keggle dip tube Q

    First try is in the carboy

    you will love the hobby after your first glass. I know I did. get your self a wine thief for taking samples. it makes it a lot easier on your self. Also I suggest a hydrometer test tube, or in a pinch you can use the sheath/container that it is normally packaged in. The reasoning for not...
