So, I'm wanting to increase my rate of brewing because I bought a 2 keg system and obviously want to make full use out of it. I almost bought another secondary fermenter so I can have 2 brews in secondary fermentation at one time. Then I began to wonder if my money would be better spent on an additional keg or two since the price it pretty much negligible. The way I see it, there would be one less carboy to clean, and you would reduce the risk of infection while transferring it from the secondary fermenter to the keg.
So is there really any advantage to using a carboy as a secondary fermenter rather than a spare keg? Since the first glass of the keg will dump the trub anyway, would I really lose any clarity or have any off flavors?
