Hi all,
I'm new here and just completed my introduction in the Introductions forum if anyone would like to know more about me.
I have had the complete Brewers Best kit for about 7 years, and have probably only made four batches of beer in the time. After a relatively recent move, I lost a lot of the pieces. So, last week I visited my local homebrew shop and had them assist me in replacing all of the pieces I was missing. I also bought a glass carboy, ready to move up from the plastic brew buckets.
I have not brewed in the carboy yet, and since then, I found a deal on a used Stout Tanks & Kettles 7.3 gallon stainless conical fermenter that I couldn't pass up.
My question is - is it worth keeping the glass carboy? It was about $40, which isn't the end of the world, but if I won't use it, I'd also rather get my money back and put it towards something else useful like an immersion chiller.
What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for humoring a complete rookie!
