Globochem posted:Does anyone have any experience with using sanitized bags of ice to cool down wort as described here? I would imagine the bag would melt or affect the taste of the beer, but maybe it doesn't? Don't worry. I have been using the "no chill" method for a year with no ill effects. (http://www.brewersfriend.com/2009/06/06/australian-no-chill-brewing-technique-tested/) Put hot wort in a sanitized bucket, seal, wait a day to add yeast.

 I use cheap American 2-row (usually Rahr) as my base malt for most beers, run a longish boil, and make styles where DMS would not be obvious anyway (ie, Belgians, stouts, bitters, IPA). I have yet to have someone complain of DMS in a no-chill beer.

withak posted:They are usually called bottling buckets. You should be able to buy the spigots from any brewing supply place I think. You will need a way to drill a ~1" hole in an existing bucket if you want to just buy a spigot. I used a bottling bucket as a fermenter for my first year brewing. Worked great, until I got a round of infections I couldn't kick. Turns out the spigot has all sorts of nooks and crannies that collect gunk. If you use a spigoted bucket to ferment, disassemble and clean the spigot every time! (the standard spigot just pulls apart into 2 pieces)

Local Yokel posted:I pull mine apart after bottling, but only get: spigot (1), nut (1), rubber washer (2). How do you get the spigot apart. I've looked at it with this in mind, and didn't see anything. For a standard white-and-blue spigot, you hold the white plastic and yank the blue section out. This separates the spigot housing (white part, with threads) from the spigot valve (blue part with the handle and spout).
