So I have recently brewed 6 growler sized batches and am going to bottle them soon. I would like a smaller bottling bucket as the width of min (5 gal ale pale, with spigot about and inch up from bottom) I feel like there will be a lot of tipping the bucket and getting the sludge at the bottom all turned up and I would rather not bottle that.
Do they make any kind of bucket that has a V shape at the bottom that will catch the sludge that sinks to the bottom, but have a much smaller width so I wont be losing as much beer below the spigot on the bottling bucket?
What would this even be called? Do they sell them in 1 or 3 gal sizes, I guess also a 5 gal size however I mostly brew in 2.5 gal batches so I am not as interested in a 5 gal. Also is there a DIY thread, I can search myself but am not sure what this would be called?
Do they make something that looks like this, for bottling? I have seen fermentors like this but bottling buckets? -- The light brown is the beer, the red is the spigot, and the dark brown is the sludge...
