Hi all,
Looking for some advice on this: I am planning to brew two 4 to 5 gallon batches of beer this weekend using extract. I have not purchased my ingredients yet as I am not sure how big my batches are going to be, or what recipes I will be using, though its going to be an extract brew.
Here's my dilemma:
I have alot of fermenters. I have two 4 Gallon glass carboy's and about three 10 gallon plastic primary fermenters. I am not sure what the best option would be for my brewing - I could make two 4g batches in the glass carboys, or 2 5-6 gallon batches in the plastic primary's. I am not planning to secondary these batches.
The plastics seem like my best option because A) I get more beer and B) they are easier to clean. My only concern with the plastics is that the lids I have are crappy at best so I am afraid it may oxidize my beers.
What would be my best option? How would the pro's do it?
