I know this is a completely amateur question,
Could someone tell me what the spigot on a fermenting bucket is actually for?
As all the yeast settles to the bottom I can't figure out what it is for.
As I siphoned out of the primary into a keg, I thought the only use it would have is for taking small samples for hydrometer readings....
Also, by taking samples out in this way, does it cause a lower pressure inside the bucket? I thought this was why I never saw any bubbles as any CO2 that was given off would be re-establish pressure equilibrium.
