Hello HBT!
First off let me say that this place is awesome and i plan on upgrading my membership.
Now to the questions...
My first batch is in the fermenter for 3 days now.
1. I used the bucket with the spigot on the bottom as the fermenter per the instructions in the kit, what this correct? The other bucket has no spigot...
2. What is the benefit of using two fermenters (other than being able to brew more beer) and when is the correct time to transfer?
3. The fermentation on my batch seems to of stopped...but not sure how tot tell. I checked the fermenter and watched the valve on top for about 5 min and never saw a bubble come out. When i hold a light on the other side of the bucket to see the water and krausen level it appears to be no foam on top and right at the 5 gal level.
4. If I do indeed have a stuck fermentation process, what is the best way to resolve this issue?
