But yeah ive always Racked off like what my dad has done for the last 10yrs, it seems to give less waiting time b4 u get a better drinking brew. im looking forward to brewing in QLd during winter ive got at least 40 fermenters Ready to go using the 20ltr Vinegar bottles ive been collecting since mid last year(yes im a cheffy and Yes we do polish a LOT of cutlery).
Boy-o-boy thats alot of bottling Darken.
I use the vinegar drums too, from work restaurant. Use for secondary for same reason and water storage as town water is undrinkable.
Nice idea but bottling,wow! thats a massive work load.
They work well for me as I brew to 19lt using hop boil,(lots of floaty bits), then second, then 18lts to keg.
Beleive it, I kid you not, the same drums were for sale down town at the hardware store without a tap just the bung for $16.50 ea, and at many work places like restaurants they throw them in the bin.Take advantage when you can eh? :icon_cheers:
