Seeing these what can best be discribed as anti-glass threads. Who here is actually content to stay with their glass carboys? How many trouble free years of those that are sticking with glass had. I am just curious. Being a new brewer and wanting to remain as clean as possible I bought two six gallon carboys. Just how damn careful do I have to be with these things. If one is capable of breaking with just sloshing liquid then I would consider them a defective product. How can they be sold to the general public when they can just "explode". These products really should be manufactured with a bit more strenth in mind.
