I'm getting ready to bottle my first batch. My kit came with a plastic bucket and a 5 gallon glass carboy. I didn't do a secondary so I can't bottle from the primary bucket.
I'm trying to decide if I should just go buy a second bucket for bottling. They're cheap enough that if they make my life easier while bottling, then it may be worth the purchase.
Thanks!
*** note - I suppose I could bottle directly from primary if I had those sugar tablets, dumped the priming sugar/water directly into the primary, or, if it's even possible, just measure the priming sugar per bottle, but boiling the water/sugar and combining it with the beer in a separate vessel seems like the best way to go.
