Glass carboys versus better bottles
|
|
Are there any detrimental issues with the plastic carboys? I have heard that glass is heavy. It is temperature sensitive. But what are the negative aspects of the better bottle? Do they absorb flavors? Or are they completely no porous? I'm wondering what do the majority of you use and why. Thanks.

It's a hot debate and one brought up almost weekly. Try out the search function up top and search plastic, better bottle, etc.

I was anti better bottle until I got one...The only drawback to better bottles is they suck airlock juice when you move them...other than that there are a few reasons why they are in fact, better.

It is kind of difficult to search for a thread on better bottles vs carboys. The search engine takes out the word better and vs because they are too common, so you are left with a bunch of threads that mention carboys and bottles.
