When homebrewing an English Stout, can I use a glass carboy for the initial fermentation?
Q. I've looked to various resources and seen different answers. Some instructions say the glass carboy is for the secondary fermentation (racking), however, with a stout, I don't think I'm going to do a secondary fermentation. I have an autosiphon, so transferring isn't an issue. I'm worried about the pressure from the active ferment, and the possibility of a glass shrapnel bomb in my basement if my co2 valve gets blocked. Any ideas/experiences to share? Thanks.

A. Generally people start homebrewing with the bare necessities because the equipment costs can add up when getting started. So, the starting equipment is usually a bucket and a carboy. Plastic buckets are slightly oxygen permeable, so while they work fine for primary fermentation when CO2 production is high and there is a slight positive pressure within the bucket, they can allow some oxidising when used for secondary fermentation and have the possibility of hurting the final flavors...this is why glass is recommended over plastic for secondary. However, using glass for primary is a step up so you're always going to win using glass for both primary and secondary. Your carboy will not explode if your airlock gets plugged up. It will be… [cont.]

What type of fermentation takes place when making root beer?
Q. I'm doing a project in school and we're making root beer and I am kind of confused. Are there specific types of fermentation?!
