Any thoughts? I am in need of several carboys and am half considering the better bottles over the glass. i'd be interested to hear feedback. I am currently looking at picking up about 6 carboys. Thanks ahead of time!
Anyone actually had issues with scratching up better bottles when cleaning with a brush? If the answer is largely no then I think my decision will be to go with the better bottle for price, weight, etc.
I would never use a brush on my better bottles. I just soak with PBW solution and rinse. The are sparkling clear and clean.
Glass was never a choice for me. Lack of storage space and having numerous children and dogs means glass is always broken eventually.
Sounds good.. better bottles it is. Now to decide ported versus non, I believe I will just get the non ported and rack as I usually do with an auto siphon. I can get alot more for the money too, seeing as how I was looking at a minimum of 4 and possibly 6 thats a good thing.
The problem with the ported bottles is cost... the valve doubles (at least) the cost of the bloody thing! I have a couple that I bought mainly out of curiosity, but in the future, I will get them without ports and siphon the old-fashioned way, as the beer gods intended. Their valves are nice and work well enough, but for the cost, I could buy a lot of stainless steel siphons and hose...
