primary fermenters and plastic
I was always curious. Why do we use plastic for primary fermenters and
glass for secondaries? |

primary fermenters and plastic
It is hard to find large glass buckets that are open at the top so you can
work with the fruit. Also food grade plastic is cheaper and a bit less breakable. Glass would be better but I want my primary to be open at the top. Stainless steel is great if you can afford 10 gallon stainless buckets. Ray "Adam Lang" > wrote in message ... > I was always curious.
