Thanks but that is not a concern. It can get kicked or bumped out, and it is difficult to clean. It's just a personal decision for me - I just dont trust them as much as I used to.

dedhedjed - THANKS for the quality recommendation! Can you tell me more about what this item does or how it works please? The description says, "Food grade nylon, custom-molded to include an integral backnut. Keeps beer (and yeast sediment) out of the Transfer Valve during fermentation. Fits our...

Awesome! Thanks for the pic

How long did you let is age total?

superjunior I would be curious to know approx how many batches you would say you have fermented in a 'bottling bucket'. Thanks

Hi Brew Crew - I did a few searches with no relevant results. I have two bottling buckets that I acquired but I don't do any bottling. Can anyone help me think of a creative way to turn this back into a DEPENDABLE primary? I really want the spigot removed and the hole covered. The...

He is probably talking about receiving bulk wet food items (think pickles for example). They always come in white plastic buckets. Any bucket (in a commercial application) of another color is a way of indicating that the bucket used to hold something other than food and should not be used for...

Hahaha awesome +1!

Wow these are a lot of great ideas! I am just beginning to plan my ferm chamber (foam) and I would be interested to hear of the most power-efficient way might be. What application uses the fewest watts? Please post your wattages. Also can anyone tell me more about the type of incandescent bulb...

Needs about two weeks in the keg, maybe three, and it should be closer to its full potential. No need to transfer, you're doing everything just fine.

My advice your fermentation vessel should have at lease 1-1.5 gallons of headspace for krausen and to avoid these problems. All 5gal batches should really be in a 6.5 gal pail or carboy. Your 5gal could be used for appflwein or as a secondary. If you insist on using it, rig up a blow off tube...

I posted links to my infection (here: http://s960.photobucket.com/albums/ae88/WakeMikey/Random/) and I wanted to update. I poured a mug from the bottom of the bucket. It smelled and tasted musty and made my living room smell the same. It's a toss-out for sure. The bucket is a bottling bucket...

509inc thanks for the additional information. I am trying to find your post but not having much luck right now. I will be sure to taste it if I'm really going to consider kegging it, but I don't think that is happening.. doesn't look tasty lol.

Awesome awesome awesome!! I just got my first house and I can't wait to make plans for a garden this spring. Adding a few hop rhizomes, grape vines and a couple more apple trees too. I would love to see even more pics of your garden!
