1/26/2008 -- I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

10/11/2007 -- im new to this. i just ordered a distiller and was wondering what would be the best container would be for use in fermenting. can i use a glass carboy for my hooch or are these just for wine and beer?

7/14/2006 -- I am about to order a 7 3/4 Gallon primary fermenter and a 6 Gallon Glass carboy however when I add both items to my basket you ask me whether I would like an airlock and stopper with the items. I immediately think 'yes' but I read on another website somewhere that when the must is at it's primary fermenting stage, it's not good to have an airlock as the yeast needs to breathe apparently? Can you clarify? . . .

5/16/2005 -- i am new to this, and i have seen and heard of people using plastic buckets for final fermentation, their purpose for doing this is so they can attach a spigot to the bucket for bottling, is this ok to do or is glass the better choice? thanx again and i find that you question and answer part of the site to be very helpful

3/13/2005 -- I'm just getting started brewing and I had a question. As a primary fermenter which is better, plastic bucket, plastic carboy or glass carboy. Then for secondary fermentation, plastic carboy or glass carboy?

12/19/2003 -- I am having trouble keeping the temp in the room I am making wine between 70 and 75 degrees as specified in the wine kit I have. I live in Colorado and often the temp at night dips way down, and in the day it can get quite warm. I am not around at all times to adjust the thermastat. Could I solve this problem by wrapping the carboy with an electric blanket or something of the sort? Any suggestions? . . .

10/23/2003 -- I noticed most of the malt extract brew kits are 5 gallon batches. Will a 5 gallon carboy be sufficient for fermentation, or will I need a 6 gallon carboy to allow for foaming? Thanks, I'm new to this.
