I've had one of these break on me after one use... I'm going to glass carboys. But they work fine, you can't really see into them as well though and they tend to retain smells. No good.
Glass breaks too! The problem with glass carboys is that when they break, they break BIG.
lustre... now you got me really scared! maybe better bottles are the better alternative. I still feel that glass is somehow more authentic than plastic and less likely to impart a flavor (i.e. not oxygen permeable), but I value my tendons and ligaments. something to think about... thanks!

I was walking around in one of our warehouses and noticed they had Appalachian springs? or some brand that was using 5 gallon glass carboys. There were two pallets of them sitting there full. It appears there is only a 7 dollar deposit on them so looks like the water company is going be short a few 5 gallons water bottles next time around.
edit: it's Mountain Valley Spring Water that has glass carboys
I'm looking for a couple of the 3 gallon sized....all of a sudden the big box stores don't seem to have them....I want to split a 6 gallon batch of mead and add fruit to half of it....
Just how many gallons of Ed's Apfelwein is REALLY being produced?

Bad news... I found out that not all of the bottles at work are PETE. Not until I got home with my second one, and saw that it was a number 7. I did notice that all of them with the hump in the bottom are PETE. I guess it pays to double check before stealing (er I mean taking home...)
Getting water at work today, just happened to glance at one of the 15 bottles sitting next to the dispenser........PETE! Asked the boss if I could take home 4 empties, he said Sure!! (I dont think he knows hes paying a deposit on them)
I need to get as many as possible before I move in a couple weeks!
We may be seeing more PETE bottles now that it looks like the US may be following Canada's lead after their banning of bottles containing bisphenol A..... I called it a couple moths ago, didn't I?
