So I bought a brand new bottling bucket and was using it for fermentation. I left it alone in my basement for two weeks, didn't touch it once, only checked to see how it was bubbling. On the day I was going to bottle it, I walked downstairs to find the bucket leaking from around the spigot. Not even slowly leaking, gushing, so that all five gallons of beer ended up all over the floor. Needless to say I was devastated. Has this ever happened to anyone else??? It was a brand spanking new bucket and didn't show any signs of leaking prior to that. The beer was a brown porter, if that means anything.
