Hi
I’ve been reading back through the forums on this excellent site and although quite a bit has been written on the PET and glass carboys in the past I was just wondering if those using PET carboys for wine kits have anything new to add in regard to my following question.
Which is…
I have been using PET Better Bottle 23 litre carboys over the glass ones in the UK simply because the glass carboys available here are all around 25ltr and this would mean quite a bit of topping off which I would like to avoid. So for last year I have been using the PET carboys and bottling the wine when the instructions indicate or as soon as the wine clears. However I have starting making high-end kits such as Eclipse and CC Showcase and would very much like to start bulk aging for 6 months using the PET carboys. Has anyone had any bad experiences doing this with the Better Bottles?
Thanks
Will
