I've become convinced that getting myself a secondary fermenter is a must. I have two options, and I was wondering what people thought:
- A plastic fermenter (identical to my primary). Thirty litres, and I can bottle from a tap at the bottom (as I now do from my primary).
- A glass carboy. This was recommended by my stockist, but costs a lot more, and I will have to bottle via a siphon - much less convenient.
Would there be any problems with using a plastic secondary? I don't intend to leave a brew in there for any longer than about two weeks anyway...
