How many Carboys do you own?

4 6 gallon buckets, 2 6.5 gallon glass carboys (used less and less) 4 stainless steel pots.
WHAT I'd like to have: Digital hydrometer !

5 x 13 gal demijohns
3 x 6 gal
2 x 7 gal buckets
and a couple of key kegs with the lining removed that I find rather good for fermenting stuff in them

I own one, but never use it. I like the idea of not severing a nerve or tendon.

4 buckets brew every other week very rarely run out of beer.

6 plastic carboys from more beer
3 glass carboys

1 6.5 gallon carboy
3. 5 gallon carboys
4. buckets.

The 5 gallon carboys very rarely see any use. The other five fermenters are usually full.

I own four 6gal better bottles. About once a month, I buy another one. what's interesting is, as you buy more, you brew more. Go figure, right? LOL

I have 6 - 6 gallon better bottles. I'd probably have more, but that's all that fit in my ferm chamber.

(3) 7.5 gallon buckets
(3) 6 gallon carboys
(4) 5.5 gallon carboys

I think I need more...

one 6 gal glass
one 5 gal glass
two 6 gal BB
two 5 gal BB

Love those Better Bottles, that's all I buy now when I need more

My LHBS has 5 gal BB's for $25 and 5 gal glass for $33. Buy from these guys, they are new and would appreciate your business!

BellsBeer has 6gallon Better Bottles for $20. Great place to buy.

one 6.5 gallon glass, one 6 gallon glass, one 5 gallon glass, and three 6.7 gallon buckets.

I have two glass 5 gallon carboys that I got at a garage sale for 5 dollars a piece. I'd check around on Craigslist first, you may find a steal like I did!

two buckets, two glass carboys (6.5 G), and one plastic carboy (5 G)....

Plus 1

I have three 7.5 gallon glass (free) and one 5 gallon ($5 on CL). None have seen any action to date. All the horror stories on here have me thinking. So far all fermenting has been in my 7.5 gallon plastic bucket.

Some day, I'll use those suckers.

As long as your not moving them around much (full) they are pretty safe. The brewhauler straps and milk crates also help. I slipped in the shower a couple of times, damn near killed myself! Still showering, but have my life alert in a plastic baggie.:rockin:

I have 12 glass carboys which are pretty much always full hehe. Just picked up 200+lb of grain, sack of pils, 2 sacks of pale 2 row, sack and a half of wheat, sack of flaked wheat and a sack of munich and a huge variety of specialty malts Sooo they get filled quite frequently

1x 6.5 gallon glass, 1x 5 gallon glass, 1x 5 gallon Better Bottle, and thanks to BrownDog, I'll be the proud owner of 2x 6 gallon Better Bottles (for $28 shipped!).

So 5 total. Long-term souring, here we come!

Have thought about the milk crate thing and like that idea, but not sure if the 7.5's will fit in a milk crate. When I fisrt got them, I filled one of the 7.5s up and it was HEAVY. Granted I would only have 5 gallons in it. My main issue is lack of time. I brew with a friend and we get together every 3 to 4 weeks for brewing. Once we can ramp up production definately plan on using the carboys. Figure the 7.5's will be great primaries.
