Poor horse. Haven't you beaten it enough already? I use glass. I had 1 better bottle but it was easily scratched when cleaning so now it holds star-san.

I bet he still enjoys the beer he makes. When I was first getting back into this hobby 6 years ago, I did a lot of reading. I was taking an extreme scientific approach to my brewing, taking readings of all the runnings, pre-boil, etc. Then I visited a friend on brewday who has many more years...
