Hello All,
I received a brew kit from my wife for Christmas and brewed my first batch yesterday!! I can tell you now that I have been bitten by the brewing bug!! It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to make my next batch. I've been reading this forum for the last few days and have already learned a lot of information that helped with making my first batch.
I have a question though, I used a plastic bucket for the first batch and now I am going to get a glass carboy to ferment the second batch. How do you transfer the wort into the carboy? By siphon? If so, how do you strain using a siphon? Is is possible? With a plastic bucket it was very easy to pour and strain the chilled wort. I used a chinois which is just a finely meshed strainer.
Thanks for your help!
