RE: Glass vs Plastic

Jim- How big a boil volume do you have? Do you use immersion chilling? If your kettle is big enough, you could chill IN THE KETTLE, then transfer directly to your carboy. One less transfer - one less chance for infection. - Al Original Message: ----------------- From: jvoosen(a)usfamily.net Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 08:46:34 -0500 To: mba(a)thebarn.com Subject: Glass vs Plastic As Rick mentioned in one of his emails, there are many opinions on glass vs plastic. It's just like at the grocery store - paper or plastic. I enjoy seeing activity in the airlock, then I know fermentation is taking place. It would be interesting to carry a full glass carboy downstairs and I don't think I would want to be around if it ever decided to meet the concrete floor by accident. At my next brew session, I will probably cool in plastic (much easier to carry plastic bucket downstairs), then rack to class for fermentation. Thanks to all for your info.
