    carboy vs bucket

    I would like some feedback on what is better for both primary fermentation and secondary. I switched to a bucket for primary because it is easier to transport. I can't tell if it's having an impact on the brewing process. Thoughts? Thanks

    floaters

    I made a 2X IPA kit that called for a dry hop for 2 weeks in the secondary. When I bottled (22oz) I have a lot of floaters. Will dry hopping 2 weeks create floaters? The floaters looks like dissolved hops.
