I finally got some supplies and until I have more time to read up on all this and on which kit to get I wanted to make a quick batch of the Welch's white Niagra and was looking at Jack Keller's recipe.
He says to "Add additional water to make one gallon and pour into secondary." Why the secondary and what should I use? I bought a 2 gallon plastic bucket and lid from a restaraunt supply shop and was going to use that as a primary then when it came time to rack I would use a 1 gallon glass jug. Do I have this wrong?
Wouldnt primary fermentation take place in a primary and then rack it over to the jug which would be the "carboy?"
