We continue this beginner kit review…already in progress.
The item highlighted above is a bottling bucket. You can tell it’s a bottling bucket by the spigot that is visible near the bottom.
After the beer is done fermenting, you can transfer the beer (also known as “racking”) to this bucket so that it can easily be transferred to bottles for future consumption.
The bottling bucket allows you to get the beer off of the yeast and allows you to add some priming sugar to the beer before you put it into bottles. Plus the spigot makes it easier to get your beer into bottles if you let gravity help you out.
In the photo, you can see more plastic tubing. This tubing has a special valve at the end of it that only allows liquid to flow through it when the valve is pressed against something…like the bottom of a bottle.
It makes bottle filling easy and less messy.
