Check my equipment list before I buy?

No worries at all, I didn't take any offense and certainly didn't intend to give any. I don't trust PET but HDPE has no leaching or plasticisers, so I'm still debating whether to bottle from a glass carboy or just an HDPE bottling bucket with spigot. If I go glass, I'll do a stainless racking wand and carboy cap to create the siphon, with the inline filter where you blow into it. If I go plastic bucket, the beer won't be in there for more than a few minutes so I'm less concerned about any issues from the plastic. For $12 I might just go with the plastic for now, and when I'm ready to get a 2nd fermentor, just get a 6.5 gallon glass carboy and use it for bottling, too.

So many decisions, but it's been a lot of fun deciding!

Agreed on vinator and bottle tree. My bottling days will be a lot worst without those two things

What is a vinator?

Only the most awesome time saving bottle sanitizer ever!

Anyone have a pic of one and explain how it sanitizes?
