It finally happened
Hope that's beer in the sink and not blood. . . .
Looks like one of the Hecho in Mexico models that I have a couple of. I still use them occasionally, but after looking through the HBT thread on glass carboy injuries, I'm definitely wary.
Sorry for the lost brew - hope no one was hurt!
Better bottles are great, but they still have one of the downsides of carboys. Their shape makes them more difficult to clean and store than buckets, not to mention they cost more. After I broke 3 carboys I switched to buckets (I'm a slow learner) and for the last 12 years of using them I couldn't be happier.
I clean better bottles with knockoff oxiclean, look like new with no scrubbing.
And I clean buckets the same way. They still have the advantage IMO.
I like staring at my beer. I do use buckets though.

I like the visibility too. Also buckets are too permeable for aging wild beers and such. Buckets are easy to carry and cheap though. Anything but glass for me.
