Hey guys,
Is it safe to use a Bottling Bucket with Spigot (fully disassembled and sanitized) as a Secondary Fermenter? My Better Bottle is only 5G which normally is fine, but I'll be racking into Secondary on 4lbs of Strawberries and the 5G will not be big enough. My Bottling Bucket is the same as my Primary Bucket at 6.5G, but with the Spigot on the bottom.
Has anyone had a problem with spigots leaking / allowing outside bugs in over a three week conditioning / settling period?
After the three weeks in Secondary I was going to rack into my Better Bottle for a two day cold crash prior to bottling.
Thanks for your thoughts!
