Apart from my fermenters (I want 3x30 L ones) I am now set up for my first AG experience
I have rejected the conical ($$$s), Better Bottles (hot water intolerance and flex when full) and glass (weight and safety) leaving me with plastic.
Two options there I think
1 The screwtop lid carboy (some say a pain to sanitise?)
2 The click on pail and lid (some say not a good enough seal)
Im thinking that my brewing schedule might call for me to ferment and store a couple of brews in the fermenting fridge before my two keg system is empty.
Sooo.... maybe I should go for the screwtop because its less prone to let air in (storing for a month or two)?
Alternatively could I store fermented beer at 17-18 degrees in a cube purged (I dont mean pressurized) with Co2 if I want to store for that time? Or is this too long without carbonation for fermented beer?
I really dont want to bottle and atm not inclined to go the no chill route for storage.
Any advice gratefully received including suppliers of quality 30L fermenters.
Many thanks
Tony
