    Long active fermentation

    I am assuming all is still ok buy figured I'd ask. Brewed a hef last saturday and all went well. Fermentation took about 16-18hours to begin so by midday Sunday was going strong. Well it's still going pretty strong 6 days later with a 3inch still present. Any reason to be concerned?

    Fermenting Buckets?

    Anyone know a place to pick up fermenting type buckets at like a sams club or similar. Was wanting to do some brewing soon and the closest LHBS is about an hour away and I never get to make it out there, and ordering online just takes a while.
