Hey guys, total n00b here, and first time poster, so forgive me if this has already been answered elsewhere. I tried my first batch over the weekend (extract, IPA), and the wort was obviously still way too hot when I put it in my new carboy, as the bottom completely broke apart... Great start!
Anyway, I need a new carboy, and this time around I think I'll buy something sturdier than an average carboy. Looked at plastic ones (better bottle?), but I think I want to stick with glass. Found this pyrex carboy on ebay, looks nice, seems new, and it's cheap (well, at least right now ):
NEW Carboy 2.5 Gallons (9 Liters) CORNING PYREX - Borosilicate Glass Bottle | eBay
I don't need a 5 gallon carboy, 2.5 gallon is plenty for me, and this should handle temperature changes much better. Thoughts?
