Good day everyone!
I have 3 six gallon glass carboys but am sick of having to clean through the small hole and siphon, so I am going to be moving to the Speidel wide-top PET for primary's and something like the deep woods 7 gal SS for a secondary.
That being said, I don't want to totally scrap my glass carboys, as they are perfectly functional as they stand. I'd think about keeping them, but I LOATHE racking with a siphon. My question is simple, is it completely reckless of me to try and drill a small hole into my carboys? Will it just shatter?
I am thinking something about big enough to somehow (haven't gotten this far yet) rack form a spigot... or something... somehow.
Am I living a pipe dream? should I just hold onto them for emergency need? should I just sell them? OR... should I wear elbow length protection, say a prayer and give this crazy idea a whirl?
