Siphon or pour

[Alex Tretter]

can you pour a six gallon bucket of chilian juice into a 7 1/2 callon fermenting bucket before adding yeast or should I siphon it in ?

* some of us use the white plastic Chilean buckets as our primary, use a low foam yeast, or if it starts to go high dip a gallon out to a separate SS pot
* We assume that the bucket has oxygen in it, yeast needs oxygen for cell growth, ,,, therefore it will not matter. When you finish your primary avoid adding oxygen/ splashing and siphon.
