Today is my first attempt at bottling on my first brew...I am making an Irish Red Ale it was in primary for about 10 days and 2 weeks in the secondary...my question is when I make up the priming sugar with water/boil it...should I rack off the beer from the secondary to a clean carboy and only...

I am about to bottle my first extract batch and its been a real long time since my last brew. Do the bottles need to maintain the same low temp as during primary and secondary fermentation? Or can they be slightly warmer say 5 degrees or so in the same dark closet. My closet stays about 75 so...

ok yea no the copper tubing comes up 2-3 in above pot then 90 degree turns out another 3-4 in then vinyl tubing is placed on that...

yea those are the ones...ok thanks...that what I thought but I worried about them melting...

Im building a wort chiller and I wanted to know if when you place it in the boil to sanitize it do you remove the plastic pipes for running colder water through? Or does it not matter?

Does anyone know if you can use an auto siphon to transfer wort after a boil once its brought down to the cold break temp under 80 degrees without melting/breaking the auto siphon...or should I just get a funnel with a screen and pour it into the glass carboy.
