I have a Coopers brewering kit. The fermenter is basically a large bucket with its own spigot near the bottom. When following instructions for a Cooper's pre-hopped beer kit you just ferment and then bottle directly from the spigot on the fermentor. In the 3 batches I've made so far there has been practically no sediment in the bottles and I assume thats due to the use of the pre-hopped kits rather than doing my own mash and whatever. Up until now I've just been using carbonation drops for my priming so with the spigot in the fermenter there wasn't a need for a bottling bucket. However, I am ready to get a bottling bucket and ready to use priming sugar.
So I was curious... Since my fermenter has a spigot on it would I really need to syphon the beer out? Couldn't I just connect a sanitized tube to the spigot and run it to my bucket with the priming sugar?
I already have an auto-syphon so I guess I am just asking out of curiosity.
