Has anyone made a Yazoo Sue Clone? SWMBO wants me to make this and I found a recipe online from someone who sounds like they knew what they were talking about and claims it is very close to the actual product. I was wondering if anyone thinks this recipe will work or if there are some...

It sounds like you have one bucket that has the spigot that you are using for fermenting and bottling? If that's the case, it would be helpful if you get a second bucket. They're relatively cheap. I recently bottled a peach IPA that was dry hopped and there was a LOT of trub and peach crap...
