I like the spigot idea but all my spigots are on 5 asnd 6 gallon buckets is there a tool to add them to my 2 gallon buckets for when I am making smaller batches?

I like the spigot idea I use those for my 5 and 6 gallon batctches, but is there a tool to let me add them to my 2 gallon buckets?

I am having this same problem but it seems like I have a leak in the main unit at the top or somewhere is starts then it sounds like it is sucking air somewhere.

((Did not know where to put this seeing there are multiple different Recipe ideas)) Well, I just watched the Lord or the Rings again and the geek inspired imagination hit. Not to mention the Dungeon and Dragon fan excitement popped. So here is my Idea for a Dwarven inspired Mead. Drakk...

*update* Well I bottled a couple of days ago, it seems yeast died at a FG of 1030 that could have been thanks to my jumping the gin when I racked, but now I seem to have an odd off taste it is to hard to describe it. I just don't know it I degassed it to hard, or if it is the Super-kleer I...

even though I screwed up lol, it seems now to have more action in it then it did before I racked it, I got lucky there.

****Update**** Wine just went to the Secondary over the fruit. It went in with a gravity of 1.040. the fun thing is when you think your secondary is 6.5 gallons only to find out it is not and you are left with basically a gallon left and no balloons, and end up going Ghetto style with a condom.

I am making wine

Well I am now fermenting without the lid, I have a Cloth lid over the bucket. Mainly because I have had more then a few brewers tell me during this fermatation air is the bet for it instead of the lid.

I only used the mobile app version, But it does have a option to switch from metric to English.

Just thought of a question, I keep reading about mixing the must daily is this a good thing, I mean to keep opening the bucket. I noticed that when I open the bucket I show no signs in the lock for a good 5 hour is that slowing the fermentation?

Thanks for the help, time was the problem, it is going strong now.
