I have a Milk Stout in my FastFerment now. After following some of the advice on here about trimming the leftover plastic on the threads I think this thing is pretty good. Out of curiosity are people bottling straight from the conical, or are they transferring to a bottling bucket and...

Hi, I've new to brewing beer, I've done several meads however so I have some basic knowledge of the process. I read a bit online, and ran across the White House Honey Ale recipe, http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/09/01/ale-chief-white-house-beer-recipe. I made the wort and got everything...
