Italian Carboy 5 Gallon | Clear Fermenter for Wine, Beer and Kombucha

Beautiful glass bottle. I was so excited to get it. Good quality and looks durable. Getting rid of plastics out of my household so well worth the money. Good investment on our heath. It's on the heavy side but we will get used to it.

I got these for a water dispenser. They are gorgeous and heavy duty. Pros: Glass is much better to store water in. It's healthier and it tastes better. These will last forever if cared for properly. I love that they are multi-purpose, and I can see myself doing other things with them. Cons: Obviously, they're heavier than plastic, and obviously, they can break. They don't come with lids, stoppers, handles, or carriers. They're just a hair too big for my bottom loader water dispenser - however the door still closes enough for it to run and can be held shut with something. Tips: They work with any universal lid made for similar 5 gallon plastic containers. Get mesh/net carriers for them if you're lugging them around regularly.

The quality is pretty solid! Was shipped with ample foam and arrived safely. Wish it came with a cork/cap to help with transporting. As for the weight, it is pretty heavy especially when filled all the way up (solid 40lbs or so) definitely keep that in mind if you plan to buy! I use a milk crate to help move it when going to refill.

Nice and thick the glass is well made. Its really hard, finding well made glass like this.

Maravilloso para conservar bebidas.

I used plastic jugs to refill my water, but one of them broke so I replaced it with this 5 gallon glass jug. I was a little skeptical at first because of the price, but it’s definitely worth the investment. It’s very sturdy, has thick glass, and seems to be overall great quality. The only things I would mention are that it’s definitely on the heavier side, especially after filling it up with water, so it does take some strength to handle if you’re using it as a water dispenser. It also doesn’t have handles, which makes it a little hard to carry and it doesn’t come with the corks. I had to purchase them individually so that’s why I am only giving 4 stars. Overall, I can recommend it if you don’t want to use plastic containers anymore!

I’m using this FastRack 5-Gallon Glass Carboy to display my years-long collection of pocket change. It arrived promptly and crystal clear clean. I placed it on an 11” rolling planter caddy-perfect fit for ease of movement when cleaning the room (‘cause it’s HEAVY :-) then added a thrifted glass decanter stopper and the coins. I highly recommend this high quality product.

Good quality, done with plastic bottles

Me gustó, llegó íntegro

My water dispense has the bottle at the bottom. Used this to replace the plastic bottles. it is very heavy once filled with water.

Not used, bottle neck was too small

I got two of these 5G glass water jugs to store water for emergency use. They are quite sturdy, large and heavy but easy to move when empty - i.e. don't try to fill it with water until you position it in a location where you intend to use it. It does hold 5G.- used a 1G glass jug to fill the ones I purchased. Why glass over plastic - over time plastic jugs leach carcinogens which are cancer causing agents whereas glass does not - unless the glass is treated or leaded-glass which, from what I have been able to determine these are not (in process of getting a lead testing kit) Also for the environment reasons, I trust glass over plastic any day - glass is far easier to recycle than plastic. One final point - the jug does not come with a stopper, however I was able to find stoppers on Amazon that fit and seal the jug quite nicely. I would also advise if you are using this for emergency use to get a pump - electric or manual. Also found them on Amazon for a good price and in the process of purchasing.

This is a great 5 gallon carboy. Place these in milk crates to move them around safely.
