Im on my first batch right now, and I think I would like to get another fermenter to put this batch in a secondary fermenter. Do people recommend a Carboy or a fermenting bucket for this?
This way I could have two batches at once. I would like to use this to have some sort of rotation going. Does this make sense? What is the best way to do this? Right now I have a 5 Gal Carboy and a bottling bucket. Would a 6.5 gal carboy be something to purchase for primary fermenting in the future?
Also, how long should it stay in the secondary before I bottle it?
I appreciate all the help guys, I'm trying to gain a better understanding of this whole process!
