Hi, I'm pretty new on this, so I have some questions.
1. What type of secondary fermenter I should use? I read on my homebrewing book that plastic let oxigen pass through but I see a lot of guys here that use a better bottle.
2. What you guys use as a strainer when you go from the kettle to the primary fermenter? Should I use a nylon hops bag?
3. Is it better to buy a cooler with a drain plug on it for my MLT or is it better to drill the hole myself?
4. On my book it says that I should use returnable dark glass (amber) new bottles, but reading this forum I see that some of you guys use bottles like those of Sam Adams and other non-twist brands. I'm confused, I don't want to spend $35 on bottles but at the same time I don't want bottle-bombs in my house.
Well, these are some of the questions I have, I hope you don't mind my rookie questions. This forum is awsome, I can't stop reading it, I gathered a lot of important data already.
Thanks a lot for your time.
