Thinking of getting a Brew Bucket, but have a few questions for those of you who have one:
- I'd have it in a chest freezer. Is it much hassle lifting it in and out to take gravity samples?
- Again in the chest freezer, is there any issue regarding extra height with an airlock or a blow-off tube?
- Is there any real potential for leakage by the rotating racking arm or the thermowell (BrewMaster Ed.)? Do they require extra cleaning? Any other issues around them?
- How much hassle is involved in cleaning the ball valve between uses?
- Any hassle cleaning the outlet after taking a gravity sample (assuming it isn't ready to rack then)?
