Ok.. So i've got this plan to do a 5 gallon boil and split it up into maybe 6 different small fermentors and top each one off with various different steeped and mini mashed grain "teas" to get a good idea what each one tastes like on its own and what it contributes to a brew.
I'm going to try in the next couple of days to find some 1 gallon glass or maybe PET jugs to use. (any good ideas on where to find any free ones?)
my question is.. if i just use foil and a rubber band to cap these small fermentors with am I in any real danger of anything going wrong? I'd think not but i wanted to get some opinions. I just don't see the need to buy 6 drilled stoppers and airlocks. I guess i could use the ballon with a needle hole punched in it trick
Thanks
will
and FWIW
here are the different grains i'm contemplating testing. 5 at a time with one control that only has Light LME and a mild bittering hop. (Probably either EKG or cascade)

Crystal 60L
