It's official: i'm converted. No more 6.5G carboys for me, Better Bottles are simply better. I always preferred glass but after finding a small yet potentially disaster causing crack on the bottom of my glass primary I went ahead and got a BB. These things rock! For one they are light as crap, even filled to the top. Another thing is the mouth is big enough that I can fill the BB with Star-san and put in my auto-siphon, racking cane, and tube; something I had to use a bucket for before. Finally they are small enough for me to put 2 in my swamp cooler/bath tub. I have a 5g glass secondary in there now and the BB fits as well.
The only question I have is where is the 5 gallon mark about? Right now mines filled to about halfway up the last gripped part (whatever that's called)Also, should I expect to use a blow-off? I've got one ready to go, this one:

But now I just have an airlock on it.
The beer that's in it is a 1.070 IPA with Ringwood ale yeast.
