    Mark II Corny Keg & Carboy Washer vs Bucket Blaster-anybody used?

    I despise cleaning carboys, and I'm looking at getting one of these before my next racking/bottling day. Anybody used these? Comments? Criticisms? I'm leaning towards the bucket blaster, so I can use multiple buckets for multiple solutions(plain water to start, then a cleaning/sanitizing...

    What size to drill for an airlock grommet/gasket?

    Picked up a few buckets from Lowe's that are full of pear juice right now. Except I need to drill a hole for the airlocks. What is the inner diamater of the grommets? I'd rather not risk ~12 gallons of perry pears to an open fermentation, y'know? It was a lot of work to pick, grind, and...

    Is there a consensus on the 'best' plastic carboys or fermenters?

    And what would the qualifications be for 'best'? It's time to do some shopping, and I'm looking for guidance. If it makes a difference-I'm going to be primarily doing cider, not beer. I'll also be leaving things to bulk age for months(with occasional racking for clarity and to get off the...
