I bottled my first batch of beer about a week ago, and have another kit on order (should hopefully be picking it up soon). One of the things I found problematic was getting water in to the primary fermenter.
For that first batch, I used an 8-cup measuring cup, but now that I've got the markings on my primary, I'd prefer a faster (and less strenuous) way to get the water from my tap to my primary (I've got a good carbon filter, and they don't use chlorates in my area).
I've been to Home Depot, and have poked around the internet, and the only solution I've found thus far is to get a garden hose connector. Thing is, I'm not really comfortable using a garden hose - seems like a recipe for problems, besides which I don't need it to go that far.
Basically, what I want to do is connect a piece of clear vinyl tubing to my kitchen faucet, so I can run it down most of the way to the floor.
Any ideas?
