I wish I were closer.

I’m wondering if your priming solution was evenly distributed throughout your bottling bucket. If you didn’t give it a gentle stir, this could be part of the problem. Cheers

I have an Anvil 10.5 and love it. I kind of wish I had waited and got the bigger one, but it wasn’t available then. I still might try and get one. Might as well have 2 brews going at once! Cheers

@Kickass i will. I’ll try to take some pics along the way. It is quite the rabbit hole.
