Fermentation & Priming
The process by which sugars are
converted into carbon dioxide and alcohol. This process was once
considered a gift from the Gods. After fermentation is complete,
the beer is siphoned back into the primary fermentor, or bottling
bucket, priming sugars added, stirred, and the beer is then bottled
and capped. The priming sugar provides for carbonation.

| BOTTLING
BUCKET 6½ gal. A food grade plastic bucket
for bottling. Just transfer the beer from the Single-Stage,
stir in the priming sugar, and bottle from the valve. A small
amount of tubing should be attached to the spigot so the beer
flows from the valve to the bottle without splashing and picking
up oxygen (which is always to be avoided in beermaking after
the early fermentation is through. The bottling bucket comes
without its own lid. Bucket, with drilled hole & spigot.

GALLON GLASS CARBOY The famous big glass jug. Very
useful as a secondary fermentor when keeping beer past 7-10
days before bottling. It can be seen through and is easier
to keep clean and sterile than plastic. Absolutely necessary
for wine since wine must be kept in a secondary for weeks
and months and the oxygen permeability of plastic would ruin
the wine. Can be shipped. Takes 6½ or 7 rubber stopper.
$24.00

GALLON GLASS CARBOY Ideal for use as a glass Single-
Stage Fermentor when the beer is kept in one container for
the entire time of fermentation. The extra gallon of space
allows room for the foam to rise. A 4’ length of Blow-Out
tubing should be used for safety. Do not simply attach a fermentation
lock, as foam buildup can clog the small opening and cause
a pressure buildup. Useful for any long fermentation, as in
high gravity beers, lagering, or procrastination. $28.00
