Thanks for the reply. Have you ever experienced off-taste, possibly imparted from plastic fermenting buckets? I left some brew in there for abut 2 weeks and it tastes a bit funny; maybe it is still "young." Thanks again.
I only leave it in the bucket until it stops bubbling and fizzing. By then the sugars have all been turned to alcohol. Then its a matter of syphoning till clear. Keep air out of the batch. Different yeasts will produce different tastes and alcohol level's. Of course you probably know all this by now.
What else do you have brewing on the shelves there?

Does a little button pop up when it is ready?
That's funny, I don't remember "Uncle Jesse" doing it that way.
