Hey all-
New to the site, and have been searching around, but did not find an answer, so I thought I'd post up a question.
A friend and I are thinking about brewing our own beer, and were researching kits. The Morebeer kits seem like an ok deal, and the shipping is free, which is a plus. Their system seems to call for transfering from the fermenter to the bottling bucket using a spiggot. Most things I've read reccomend a racking cane and siphon tube (which the kit seems to lack?).
1. Is transfering with a spiggot a good idea (i.e.- will I get the sediment from the bottom into my bottling bucket)?
2. If it is ok to do, will it still be ok to transfer that way into a secondary fermenter? Intuitively, I think that it would result in a pretty turbulent transfer, but I thought I'd ask here before making up my mind.
If this isn't the best kit to get, does anyone have any suggestions. I don't want to go overboard, but don't want to end up with stuff that I'll end up swapping out, or immediately upgrading.
Thanks!
