Yeah Jase i agree with the 3 fermenter theory, but with one problem, i used one for racking then realized i could increase my brewing capacity by 33% by not racking and leaving in the primary for 2 weeks instead, i don't bulk prime (as yet) so why not have 3 brews in the primary 3 pails, dry hop and then add finings during week 2 and bottle on about day 12-14. As i don't have a spare fridge for the fermenter i am aiming to get another 3-4 brews done in the next month this way before it gets too hot.
Agree with Butters, this is not a brew to lay down in glass. Buy 30 PET bottles (they are reusable anyhow) Cost about $12 for 15 bottles at BigW.
I use a mix of these and glass and for short term bottling the PET are easy to use and lighter and don't blow up.
Shortcomings are a shorter shelf life (after 12-18 months they apparently lose carbonation).
