Glass Carboy is typcially used as a secondary vessel. The reason that I see this as the typical use is because of the small diameter of the neck of the carboy. Can you imagine trying to clean all the trub out of a carboy that was used for a primary fermenter. The ale pale being used as the...

The brew label should say "Ball Breaker Ale"

moving it from a bottle to a keg seems like to much potential for issues with oxidation.

SNOBS is out of Cleveland SAAZ is out of Akron And I think there is one in Massillon as well.

What a way to introduce myself...haha...but I got a big suprize when I returned home late last evening. I decided to brew a Dutch "Abby" Double. The S.G. was 1.072 I pitched the yeast the evening before, and in the morning when I went to the conical fermenter, I didn't notice any action...
