I was using a big carboy, it must be 8 gallons, until I decided I'm not going to mess with glass anymore. Just switched to an 8-gallon bucket (two, really). Always used a 1" blowoff with my carboys, only needed it once . . . but that's why I used it every time.

Anyone a fan of better bottles? Always figured glass is more sanitary.
