I need to free up some glass carboys for new brews. Mead takes up a lot of glass real estate to age so I'm trying to find a cheap way to store mead for bulk aging. I also need something durable and easy to move, so I can store them in my crawl space, and rack them off each month.
Looking at previous posts about buckets as secondary fermentation vessels in the beer brewing section of this site, I've found that they scratch easily, have a lot of head space , and they allow oxygen permutation.
Question is this :
What kind of plastic is best? what kind of bucket? how do I convert it to secondary so its safe in a crawlspace? Airtight? AirLock? Where do I get them? Spigot or siphon? Should it even be a bucket?
Thanks,
