I was wondering if I could use a 7-gallon plastic bucket for secondary ferm. instead of 5-gallon glass carboy? If I did this, would there be a difference?
That's true if it's a Barleywine or other big beer that will sit in secondary for months. Plastic is porous and will allow air to pass through but over a great deal of time. So for most beers that will sit in secondary from 2-4 weeks, a bucket will work just fine.voodoochild7 said:I thought plastic was not a good choice for secondary as it is not 100% air tight it will eventually oxidize.
