I found a good source on 5g galss carboys, off topic I know, but maybe useful.
Bottled water is still available in 5g glass jugs. 14 bucks got a glass jug full of water. 8 bucks will fill it up. *READ* 5 gallon glass carboy for 7 bucks!!

I have two recipes that ended very well:
1. Add 1½ gallons of water to the brewing pot. Pour the crushed grains into a grain bag and tie the bag closed. Place the bag into the water and allow the grains to steep over medium heat (the water should be steamy, not boiling). After 30 minutes, remove the pot from the heat, remove, and discard the grain bag.
Malt extract(s) used in this recipe:
3.The wort will boil for a total of 60 minutes during which time the following hops and other ingredients will be added to the boil.
At the start of the boil add the following BITTERING HOPS to boil for the entire 60 minutes:
1½ oz. Hallertau
30 minutes from the end of the boil add the following FLAVOR HOPS:
¾ oz. Hallertau
10 minutes from the end of the boil add the following AROMA HOPS:
¾ oz. Hallertau
4.At the end of the 60 minute boil, remove the pot from the heat then remove and discard the hop bags. Allow the wort to cool to about 90°F. (Note: Use a wort chiller to hasten this very important step. Also, be sure that anything that will come into contact with the chilled wort is properly sanitized.)
5.While the wort is cooling, add 3 gallons of cold water to the primary fermenter. Add the chilled wort and enough additional cold water to bring the total volume up to 5 gallons. At this point, take a sample of the wort for the specific gravity reading; refer to your hydrometer instructions for taking this reading.
6.The proper temperature at which to pitch (add to the wort) the yeast is in the 65-75°F range. If necessary, place the fermenter into a cold (or warm) water bath to bring the temperature into this range. When the temperature is correct, pitch the yeast. (Note: If dry yeast is used, rehydrate it prior to pitching by sprinkling it on top of ½ cup of water that has been boiled and cooled to 85°F. Allow the yeast to rehydrate, unstirred, for no more than 15-20 minutes before pitching.) NOTE: The yeast required for this recipe is 2206 Bavarian Lager.
7.Install an airlock or blowoff hose to the fermenter and move the fermenter to a dark spot for primary fermentation.
8.Allow the beer to ferment for one week in the primary fermenter, and then rack (transfer) the beer into a secondary fermenter for an additional week to clear. At the end of the second week, record the specific gravity reading. A steady specific gravity reading of different samples over two or more days indicates that fermentation is complete.
9.When fermentation is complete, proceed with bottling. In a bottling bucket, add ¾ cup of corn sugar or 1¼ cups of dry malt that has been boiled in 2 cups of water. Gently rack the finished beer into the bottling bucket with the priming sugar solution. Using a bottle filling tip, fill the bottles to ½-1 from the top. Cap the bottles and allow them to condition at room temperature for two weeks.
Note: The following ingredients are also required for this recipe during the bottling or kegging stage: ¾ cup corn sugar
And the other is:
(5 gallons, extract with grain)
10 lbs. Light LME
1 lb. Carapils or Dextrin Malt
1¼ lbs. Crystal Malt 60°L
1 lb. Pale Chocolate Malt 170°L
1 oz. Perle (7.3% alpha acid) for 60 minutes
1 oz. Hallertauer hops (3.7% alpha acid):
½ oz. Hallertauer hops (3.7% alpha acid) for 30 minutes
½ oz. Hallertauer hops (3.7% alpha acid) at end of boil
1 pkg. Wyeast 2206 (Bavarian lager)
⅔ cup corn sugar for priming
Step by Step:
Start with 5 gallon of water. Crush grains and steep in water at 150°F for 30 minutes Rinse the grain with enough water to make 5½ gallon. Total boil is 60 minutes Heat to a boil and add Perle hops. Boil 30 minutes Add ½ oz. Hallertauer hops. Boil 30 minutes more and add ½ oz. Hallertauer hops. Chill to 45°F and pitch yeast in a starter. Chill to 45° F and pitch yeast in a starter. Ferment at 45° F for three days. Raise to 50°F for three days. Raise to 55°F. Rack into secondary when gravity reaches less than 1.020. Cool to 40°F and ferment to 1.008 (about three more days). Age at 40°F until clear (seven to 14 days). Bottle and prime. Condition in the bottle as long as desired (30 to 60 days)
Good luck,

1. Add 1½ gallons of water to the brewing pot. Pour the crushed grains into a grain bag and tie the bag closed. Place the bag into the water and allow the grains to steep over medium heat (the water should be steamy, not boiling). After 30 minutes, remove the pot from the heat, remove, and discard the grain bag.
Grains used in this recipe:
4 lbs. Pilsner Malt
2 lbs. Munich Malt
1 lb. German Dark Crystal
1 lb. Chocolate Malt
2.Pour the following malt extract(s) into the pot while stirring constantly. Return the pot to the heat and bring the contents of the pot, now called wort, to a boil.4 lbs. Pilsner Malt
2 lbs. Munich Malt
1 lb. German Dark Crystal
1 lb. Chocolate Malt
Malt extract(s) used in this recipe:
6 lbs. Dark Dry Extract
At the start of the boil add the following BITTERING HOPS to boil for the entire 60 minutes:
1½ oz. Hallertau
30 minutes from the end of the boil add the following FLAVOR HOPS:
