Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks so much, ! I love the " having twice as much to bottle " at the end of a 2 gal brewing! I must admit, it is tricky for me to find places to set them, and they are heavy. But the KT is building me up! Don't know if it's advisable or not, but I dipped the KT, instead of pouring, since the 2 gal container is a rather unwieldy. Blessings! Ann ******* Actually, Ann, no. The first couple brews were a little longer, but now, the 2-gal brews are sometimes faster than the 1-gal-- that's part of why I love the 2-gal vessels so much, the KT brews just the same, the work to set it up is roughly the same, only I've got twice as much to bottle at the end. However, 1-gal jars are much easier to handle than 2-gal. So if you have to move your vessels around from where they sit for brewing to where you bottle, that might be a consideration, especially for less-strong or frail people, or if one has repetitive stress problems. --V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people use brewing equipment that uses a siphon. --V ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J. Muste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hi Ann I have one of those really cool plastic ladel's that has a strainer on it, and I " dip " instead of pour as well. It takes a little longer, but I am able to strain out most of the ooglies during the bottling process.
