    Bottling/Conditioning Stage

    Was wondering when you get to the bottling/conditioning stage if you can use a growler? Like a half gallon growler with screw top. Will it carbonate correctly and hold? See pic

    No bubbles in air lock

    Nice, thanks man!! Do you use a secondary on your brews? If so how long do you let it sit in the secondary before bottling?

    No bubbles in air lock

    Awesome! I was kind of afraid of that. Thats why I went out and got me a used fridge so I can control the temp a lil better next time :) Sounds good thanks for the input. Are you an advocate of secondaries? I think I want to transfer it to the secondary so I can get it a little more clear...

    It is a brand new bucket and lid from a brew shop but thats not to say it still couldn't be a leaky seal. So you think I should take a gravity reading? What should it be around?

    Fermentation in Primary

    Hey guys thanks for all the feedback! So I guess when you are ready to rack the beer to the secondary there is really no more fermentation process? The secondary is really just to filter and get a more clearer beer? You let this stay in the secondary a couple days, then bottle and let set for...
