lol no, no glycol there. Was for ecoli fermentation. It was water jacketed if i remember right. Could autoclave in place was a friggin sweet setup.

Is a secondary really necessary? I've read from some guys that say yes, & some say no.

I say no. I think if you leave it in the fermentor for 3-4 weeks, you get the same effect as moving it to another vessel for a couple of weeks. Plus less mess, less chance for mistakes, etc.

Others will say it is critical.

BTW, there is a Mr. Beer thread on this forum, and it's people who are really into using the equipment and tweaking recipes. Read through that and see if it helps.
