Carboy up!

Lucky me, for fathers day my wife got me $80 in gift certificates to my local home brew store - www.goodbrewer.com.  So I decided to buckle to the home brewers pressure/"snobbery" and invest in a 6.5g glass carboy for my fermenter to replace  my bucket fermenter, cause you know 50% of the home brewers claim you need to be in glass carboys for the best brewing.  I only bought the fermenter, so I'm still racking to a bucket.  Why, you might ask?  Simple I felt I'd replace one to try it out, while using the balance on my gift certificate to purchase ingredients for a new recipe.
