As a newbie I am getting various suggestions regarding this.
Seems the best ideas I have got are to use glass for the 2nd ferment and transferring from a plastic ferment bucket to another plastic bucket for the 2nd is not useful.
Seems to me that my best thoughts are not what others seem to think.
Anyhow, what is the best primary fermenter, secondary fermenter and the reasoning for not using a HDPE bucket for secondary if thats what is used for the primary?
Not to jump the guessing but I was planning to do the following the next time I purchased equipment:
6 gallon glass primary fermenting bottle
5 gallon glass secondary fermenting bottle OR
5 gallon corny keg
Rather then invest in all this heavy glassware, maybe there is better plan.
Next wrinkle.... can this P.E.T plastic be used as if it was real glass?
Thanks in advance
