Ok guys, I need your help once again!
I brewed my first "real" beer the other day (as opposed to the 3 Mr. Beer brews I have already done) and, per the LHS's instructions, added the wort/yeast into my True Brew "fermenter/bucket with the hole" - which is a hole on the bottom for a spigot/valve.
Since I wasn't planning on racking to a secondary (just go 2-3 weeks in the primary) I had assumed I could just bottle straight from the spigot/valve (just like my Mr. Beer keg)... but I think I may upset the trub, since I would have to add the priming sugar and stir it, which is new to me.
So - what do I do? Just let it sit for three weeks, drop the sugar/water into the top of the bucket, stir gently and bottle from the spigot?
Or, would you suggest I rack to a secondary (I have a 6.5 gallon carboy) on week 2, than go back into this spigot bucket on week 3 and than bottle.
Sorry if this sounds confusing, I can provide pictures if need be but I know you guys are sharp!
Thanks!
