I have a lot of fermenters; loads of buckets, a couple 14 gallon drums, and a Stainless Steel Blichmann.
I want to brew a sour but I really don't want to use the Conical for the many months it takes for a sour to set up.
I also don't want to risk contaminating it, forcing me to clean it over and over trying to get the "little beasties" out.
I don't use carboys (they are a pain to clean) so I have none available and I have never had a problem with oxidization. I usually only let my ales sit no more than 6 weeks in plastic and then keg.
SO: I want to dedicate a few buckets to SOUR production.
I was wondering if any one does this?
I ask because I think the amount of O2 that passes through the plastic will not cause a problem for an "active beer".
Happy Friday.
