I got some 5-gallon food grade buckets for about 5 bucks a piece and I want to add spigots to them so I can make what would essentially be a siphonless brewing system. When I looked for spigots at Midwest Supplies, they had the typical bottling spigot, which my hoses fit, and a "drum spigot" which appears to be what I would need to put onto a bucket I intend to use for fermenting. Only problem is, it's wider than the bottling spigot and won't fit my hoses.
Would it be okay to use a bottling spigot on a fermentation vessel?
If so, how high from the base should I drill so it doesn't pull trub in with the beer?
Am I better off continuing to use a siphon?
