The
selection of fermenters is entirely a personal choice. Some like to
make larger batches, some smaller. Usually a home brewer or
winemaker ends up owning several carboys, fermenters etc in order
to properly age his brew.
Plastic
has the advantage of being rugged and light weight. It CAN become
scratched, however, and doesn't seem to accumulate as much sediment
as glass does.
Glass is
great for watching the action (it's FUN!) and the surface cleans
easily.
If you
have the budget available, stainless steel is impossible to beat!
Best of all (fermentation) worlds.
Pick a
size that suites YOU.
