Hi, so made my first batch in Brewdemon, bought it for 2 reasons, 1. Watching the process is fun 2. I liked the idea of bottling from the spigot, less chance for germs. But the Traub is filled up to level with the spigot. I am considering Using the bottling pump set to draw some off and then let it settle as it ferments for its second week. Good idea or bad?

Thanks

I remember when I used the Mr Beer fermenter I put a couple of CD cases under the fermenter in the front where the spigot is. That allowed the trub to gather towards the back keeping the spigot clear. Not sure if that will work in a Brew Demon or not.

I’m not sure if the pump is a good idea. I’m not really positive how it will work, but if it’s going to add oxygen while your doing it, it’s a bad idea.

Ahe good idea, don't own any CD's but I will try that.

Thanks

siphon quietly from the primary fermentor into another fermentor primed with the bottling sugar ... then bottle-up.
avoid making bubbles during the transfer.

So found something to jack up the front legs and it seemed to work! Didn't pump after all, the Traub settled and I bottled today so 2 weeks to see what it tasted like.

Thanks
