These look interesting and seem to be a pretty good deal.

Those are the plastic ones, not the glass ones.

I'd like to use those for primary fermenting , I see they come in 6.5 gallons as well, wonder if I can find something in the 8 gallon range. I really like the wide lid, looks easy to take on and off / airlock. I'd probably open that one a lot less since I can see inside.

Dangit! Sorry about that.

Won't you draw sediment into the racking tube if you rack from this primary fermenter using the spigot?

I'm still quite new at this so I may not be seeing the benefits of a spigot.

Ideally, the spigot is above the sediment. Even if it is not, you still will leave a lot of sediment behind.

I'm guessing it usually works, but:
1) You have to tip it to get the last clear wine out of it
2) One more thing to clean that can harbor nasties.
