I’ve used plastic buckets and glass carboys because that’s just what I have. I use the plastic buckets for the primary and glass carboys for secondary.

yeah I one day would like a mash tun that lets me mash in the grains without a bag but I like the brew in a bag for its simplicity.
the pizza pan is a great idea! I never would have though of it. thank you!

Ramesh Pandey started the topic Switch Posts on Pin Lock and Ball Lock Kegs in the forum Brewing Equipment 1 year, 2 months ago
Hello everyone, I am wondering if you can change the posts (where the connectors on the lines) attach to a pin lock keg to make it a ball lock keg. Or do I have to buy a whole new keg?

I have a question, can you change a pin lock keg to a ball lock keg? By changing the connectors?
