Hello everyone, long time forum Lurker. Finally decided to give brewing a shot. I got a nice package deal that includes all the essentials plus a bottling bucket and a glass carboy. I went to a local brew store and picked up a brewers best red ale kit. I am pretty much ready to go but I have a few questions.
Is it ok to do my primary fermentation in the 6 gal bottling bucket? I don't see why it would be a problem but thought I would ask. Also while sanitizing the bottling bucket I noticed I have a leak at the drain cock. I tried to tighten it as much as I could but no matter what it has a slow drip where the rubber o ring meets the bucket. Any tips on how to safely seal this connection? Any other advise is also appreciated!
