Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

[Blak Smyth]

Congrats Dom on your first batch! Is this the one I think it is?
Keep the pics coming, I hope to get into brewing by next year.

I didn't expect the bucket to look like that either, glad you posted this pic before I found it in my bucket and thought I screwed something up.

Just because I posted a pic, doesn't mean I didn't screw up!
Waiting to hear back from some of the experts here!
I did expect crud on the sides of the bucket, just not floating on top.

Here is a great tutorial on bottling, that makes things alot easier

To get the most beer out of your bottling bucket, you can go to the hardware store and buy a threaded PVC elbow that screws onto the inside of your spigot. Here is a pic

Let me know if you have any questions. I bottled about 6 batches before I switched to kegging.
