Hey all,
I am brewing smaller batches, but don't really want to start buying smaller carboys/buckets because I still want the opportunity to brew 5 gal batches and I don't have space for any more vessels. Because I may be brewing, say, a 3 gal batch in a 5-6.5 fermenter, I feel like I should start worrying more about purging...
Most people say go out and by a tank of CO2, but that is pretty expensive. Someone mentioned about a handheld CO2 dispenser that is similar to a fire extinguisher, but I haven't had much luck tracking something like that down. Also, some of my phriends fro mentioned canister crackers that hippies use for whipits...but I don't know about that
So here is my plea for help: I need a cheap and easy way to purge my carboys. Cheaper the better, but in reality, if buying a tank of CO2 is most worth while...just say so.
Thanks and cheers!
