All Grain homebrewing on the kitchen stove with a minimum of equipment. This is not really an instructional video. I just wanted to show how I’ve been able to home brew some decent beer using very little special equipment.

Update: Since this video was shot, the beer has been bottled and It turned out to be my best beer yet!

Thanks Biermuncher for the recipe.

So I’m trying to get all my equipment to start home brewing. I was hoping to use this http://www.williamsbrewing.com/SIPHONLESS_FERMENTOR_P143C66.cfm siphonless fermentor for the primary fermentation of ale. Then transfering it to a 5 gallon glass carboy for secondary fermentation. Then i was wondering if i could transfer it back to that same siphonless fermentor to use as a priming and bottling bucket.
I am worried about all the transfers making it easier to contaminate the brew and also since the spigot is "above the layer of yeast sediment" how much beer i would be wasting using it as a bottling bucket because i think that most of the yeast cake would be left behind in the first and second transfer. Thanks for the input.

Nice tool. any bottling bucket wastes a little beer, but you just tip it up to get more out when bottling the last one.
Of course you would need to clean and sanitize before you pour the beer back in from the secondary. I would get two and forget the glass carboy. They are a pain to work with and there is nothing to see in the secondary. Using a secondary is always risky for contaminiation, but avoiding siphon hoses gives you a leg up in my opinion. They are impossible to clean. But make sure you can clean the spout on this really well.

You could probably just use this as a primary, forget the secondary, and be plenty happy. Once you get drunk and have your first cloudy beer, you stop worrying about it. Besides it clears in the bottle/keg.
