Nope I can't just order glass carboys off of ebay, none of the folks I see on ebay selling them ship over here for one thing, and even if they did I'd be really worried about shipping something that big, heavy and fragile all the way over here. I'm pretty sure I would end up getting a big box full of glass shards.I can get airlocks, at worst I can use the old tube in a jar of water airlock, but regular little plastic airlocks are not hard to get.The message I'm getting seems to mostly be that PET is fine, other plastics would be OK if it was for a shorter fermenting time and steel is good if the lid sealing issue can be overcome.
