As Denny noted, it's pretty easy, especially when compared to a plastic
bucket or a corny keg.

You can now get PET carboys (I've seen them a [url]www.williamsbrewing.com[/url]) for
the price of a glass carboy. As long as you don't leave your brew in them
for months on end, you shouldn't have any problems with oxidation.

Best place for kegs is [url]www.rcbequip.com[/url] Tough to beat at $12.50 (I
recommend getting new gaskets, too for an addl $2.25). I've purchase more
that 20 kegs from them - great folks.

Beer here,

Mike
