    Buckets with spouts in a swamp cooler?

    Hi! Not sure if this is the best place to put this but I'll start here. I plan to brew up a NEIPA in the next couple of days.

    Fruit and bottling

    So I made a saison and added some fresh blackberries to the secondary. Getting ready to bottle and I'm wondering if I should just bottle from secondary or rack to a third fermenter and let it clear for a week or so and bottle from that? Bad idea?

    Problem with kegerator

    So I picked up an Avanti 40BRC/RW/RB mini fridge. I had to bend down the freezer tray to fit a keg in. I set it at the lowest (warmest) setting and put in a corny and left it.
