Carboy?

[DrunkenJamaal]

Fermentation Bucket or Glass Carboys for primary or secondary which is better?

Most people will say glass.. And I am one of those people.... Glass for everything.. Doesn't get scratched or stain or retain smells...

Of course, you can't forget the ol Better-Bottle system.

I'm sure glass is 'better' but I do like buckets too. The price is right, the wide open top makes them easy to clean, the handle makes it easy to carry, etc. I've made LOTS of good beers in a plastic bucket. Many without a secondary in a carboy.

Gotta go with glass. Impervious to the elements, unlike a bucket.

One other thing.... empty buckets are easier to store if you dont have alot of room, since they "nest" within each other.

what about: a glass bucket?
