Hey all,
Was just watching a video on easier ways to bottle your beer and they were talking about a bottling bucket. Yeah, I know those have been around for a long time, but that's not the idea I had.
In the video, they had their mash tun sitting there next to the bottling bucket and I kept waiting for it, but they went a different direction with the video...
But, it raised the question, if you have a mash tun with a ball valve, etc, why couldn't you just transfer your brew from the fermenter into your cleaned and sanitized mash tun and use the ball valve and a small hose to easily bottle your brew?
Is this old news? I've never seen/heard of anyone doing it? Draw backs? Hard to sanitize the mash tun and the ball valve?
Just an idea, and probably going to do that next brew because it's kind of a pita knelt down on the floor using that wand deal.
Thanks,
Tac
