Sorry about the duplicate thread - I found the Search feature after I posted this.
Still would like your opinions - most of the threads were really old.
A question regarding fermentation vessels; specifically, a bottling bucket.
I talked to my trusted salesperson at my LHBS, and he said that in two years, he had only seen one spigot leak of the particular brand I bought, and it just happened to be a manufacturing defect. Now, I would definitely not use my current bottling bucket because it drips a little, but if this one tests watertight....
Here's why this question has come up:
After reading through the whole '4 weeks in the primary' thread, I'm convinced. However, both my main fermenter, and my backup are currently processing Pale Ales, and both have a few weeks to go (thanks to Revvy). So, I had to go get another bucket. I was intrigued by the idea of having a spigot on the primary, so as to not have to use my racking cane.
My plan is to do the dip tube (the 3/4" PVC elbow) and priming tabs.
I'm washing yeast tonight, making the starter tomorrow night, and brewing on Saturday, so offer your opinions sooner than later! Thanks.
