The Kegco 6.5 Gallon Wide Mouth Glass Carboy is a perfect fermentation vessel for 5 gallon batches! It has enough head space above the surface of 5 gallons of liquid to allow foamy kraeusen to form on top of the beer. Its 6" wide opening allows you to easily reach inside the jar to clean or add and remove ingredients. These glass jars have a smooth surface that does not scratch easily, so there's nowhere for bacteria to hide and cause nasty odors and tastes. Since they do not break down over time, they can provide decades of great performance if you handle them with care.
The plastic lid creates an airtight seal on the jar, but it has a recessed area with a removable cap that allows you to install an airlock to release gasses during fermentation. When you install the included breather cap and fill the recessed area with sanitizer, it will bubble off gas without letting in oxygen or other contaminants. Nylon straps are also provided to make transportation of the glass container more safe and simple.
- Capacity: 6.5 US Gallon Max Capacity (5 Gallon to top line before bottle curves)
- Material: Glass
- Plastic screw on lid with recessed cap
- Breather cap can be used as an airlock or replaced with a #3 drilled stopper and an airlock
- Strong nylon woven strap for easy carrying
- Dimensions: 17"H x 11.75"W
- Weight: 11.3 lbs
Disclaimer - These carboys are made of glass and should be handled with extreme care. We have been able to use both hot and cold liquids in them, but they are not impervious to thermal shock and can shatter when exposed to large, sudden changes in temperature. Use caution.

Just what I wanted JUDIThis is exactly what I was looking for. I'm using it as a display jar for sea glass off Maine beaches my mom collected in some 40 years...and the jar is full. Attractive and high q6. It came packaged extremely well so I wasn't disappointed with a broken jar.

Perfect for 5gal for beer and/or kombuch JDogI bought 3. One for beer and two for kombucha. I love these fermenters. The wide mouth makes it easy to clean and remove the SCOBY. The date dial works great for me so I don't have to put stickers on it, and the built in air-lock works wonderfully. I highly recommend this product for beer and kombucha.

Used for unconventional purposesSo I actually ended up purchasing this because I infuse oils to make skin creams. Herbs sit in a mixture of oils to create medicinal properties. I purchased the 5.5 gallon glass carboy and I will be purchasing the 7 gallon on my next order. I roll this giant glass container around, shake it around, its very sturdy. I would not place the carboy upside down, as the lid (although airtight) was not manufactured to withstand that amount of pressure. In short, I would definitely recommend this container for infusing oils if you're manufacturing infused oils in bulk.
