Don't get me wrong, glass containers are nice and that is a perfect size for
the 1 gallon batches. I like the visual idea, although this time of year all
of my work is done in the basement.

I was given a bunch of 4L empty glass wine bottles, the cheap brands with a
screw top. These I use as secondaries. Purchased a few 1 gallon glass
containers... these are a little smaller than the 4L so make perfect
tertiary containers.
