Ghetto 1 gallon cone bottom ACT brewer.

[thatgreenstuff]

Well bare with me guys this is my first DIY.

This is just a quik Diy i thought of doing. I normally use a 5 gallon airlift brewer but since I dont have a microscope I like to use different methods sometimes. I want to warn you guys Ive only used this brewer a few times so while it has worked for me ( no leaks etc) im not 100% sure it will work for you. Ok here we go.
Things needed :
- 2 1 gallon water containers. ( the first time you make it you will probably need 3 or so untill you get it right )
- scissors
- a 1/4 drill bit (with drill) or something equivelent in size to poke holes in cap.


I cant upload pics right now for some reason ill try to finish later...........

I cant seem to add pics to the original post. Anyway this was just a quick tutorial and I didnt spend much time on it.


With the two gallon jug's, one is the brewer and one is the stand.

1. Cut one of the gallon jugs just where it starts to cone this will be the stand.
2. Place the other jug upside down on top of the stand to make sure it fits snug.
3. Cut a small hole at the bottom of the stand jug so your air hoses can go through. Preferably as low as you can make it to the bottom of the jug.
4. Drill two holes in your cap. It doesnt seem to matter the type of cap push on or twist. Dont make the holes too big though. There should be pressure when putting the hoses through.
5. Put your hoses through the stand jug and just through the end of the cap( the closer the hoses stay to the end of the cap the less dead spots there could be).
6. Cut a hole on the bottom (the opposite end of where you pour from) of your Brewer jug .
7. Then take the brewer jug and connect the cap with air hoses and set the brewer on the stand. Fill it with a little bit of water and make sure it doesn't leak.

Add your goodies like fungus covered compost and brew away. ppy diy sorry if its confusing at all.
