I am going to start playing with 2.5 gallon batches and am selecting fermenters. I was originally going to go with the 3 gallon better bottles and still might because they are a good product. I was thinking tonight, though, and for a 2.5 gallon batch, a corny keg is about the same dimensions (if you are in the camp that says fermenter dimensions change the beer).
So, what are peoples thoughts or experience? The better bottles would be nice because I can see what is going on, but the corny kegs can multitask a little better and are stainless steel. I can fit better bottles in my freezer easier, but I can rig up a low profile airlock for the corny if I need to. For people who have fermented in corny kegs, how do you typically get the beer out without bringing yeast with it?
As for price, they are just about the same for me.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
