Ale Pail for primary, Better Bottles carboy for secondary, another Ale Pail with spigot for bottling.
I'm all 3 (until I find someone to buy my glass) but since the poll isn't multiple choice I chose my favorite, BBs.
jpc said:I've switched to Better Bottles exclusively. I ferment downstairs from where I brew, and the lighter weight and unbreakable nature of them make it preferable to me.
My preference is to start using the Speidel fermenters, but won't be doing that until the fokkers at MoreBeer get them back in stock (argh!).
BUCKET
anyone who needs to "see" their beer can just hang a sign that says "NOOB" around their neck.
I don't even have time to watch TV!!!!lol.
also dry hopping, or throwing whatever in secondary (or after primary) is easire with a bucket. Clean up is easier (I know, soak it overnight BUT I DON'T WANT TO)
Buckets are it for me.
carboys only break when you do stupid thing with them.

I don't believe in accidents. Mishaps yes. There is generally a difference.
passedpawn said:I can see how they would be easier to clean and add stuff to. I've never used one though.
I lied. I have now primaried and secondaried in a corny. Very bucket like, with the added value of gas transfer.
My last batch sat in the corny 4 months....(long story)...it had MOLD!!!
I transferred to another corny, deluding myself into believing it was leaving all mold behind.
It turned out great!!!!"
How much anxiety did I save myself not seeing the beer until absolutely necessary?
Thank you corny keg! I'll never look at my beer again!
