I've been given a 5-gal glass carboy and am curious what I need to use it for secondary fermentation/racking. I use a Coopers fermenter with a spigot and would like to transfer the brew to this carboy for a couple weeks and then back to my fermentor with priming solution and use the spigot for bottling.
I know I need to fill from the bottom up so I suspect I need a siphon of some sort? What about capping the carboy to keep undesirables out? Would saran wrap held on with a rubber band be enough or do I need something with an airlock?
Sorry for the basic questions, only been doing this a couple months.
Thanks!
