What fermenter do y'all prefer glass plastic? Thinking of getting two fastferment fermenter since it can do two stages. Also thinking of getting two speidel plastic fermenter. Just feel glass gives better quality beer. Is there a difference
I have a bunch but I like my SS Brewtech and Big Mouth Bubbler fermenters the most.
Wish I could afford a true SS Conical but until then, use what you like and make great beer.
How does that work exactly? Do you just put your wort with yeast into it then let it ferment?
Is it better then glass?
this one looks cool but looks like it is complicated.
Thanks!

Plastic siphonless big mouth made it so easy transferring from primary to my keg!

Do y'all do secondary fermentation or just primary
I use this beauty.
And how do you control temperature?
Well, luckily in a room that is pretty close to 68° this time of year. Haven't quite figured out what we will do in the warmer months. This was our first batch. Mostly going to be brewing IPA's. But the room is also very dark...
If the air temp is 68°, your beer is probably around 75° which is a little too high. Look up swamp cooler. Cheap and effective.
I think stainless conicals a are the best, then plastic and if you absolutely have to, glass. I don't think glass are worth the risk of an injury.
Do you need a 6.5 gallon carboy for 5 gallon batches? Just curious...
