Wisconsin "6.5" gallon carboys for sale - $30

[WI_Wino]

I have 5 - 6.5 gallon carboys for sale. Actual capacity as measured with a large measuring glass is 7.5 gallons. Used originally to store sulfuric acid, none have been used for wine or beer making (so far...). Each comes with a threaded cap, very handy for transport. They take a #7 stopper. And perhaps best of all, each comes with a 2 piece styrofoam case that fits snugly. Takes the guess work out of transport.

$30 each

I will not ship. I work in Madison and could meet somewhere after work. I live outside of New Glarus so not far from northern Illinois.

Note: I'm keeping the carboys shown in the following pictures but wanted to give some idea of what 5 and 6 gallons looks like:

5 gallons of actively fermenting beer

6 gallons of wine:

Still have some available

If you change your mind about shipping let me know. These are awesome.

That's the best part of using carboys for primaries! You get to watch the magic!

I'll keep it in mind. I just don't really trust fedex, ups, etc. and I'm just a regular guy, not a business. I'd hate for it to show up broken or something.

I hear you, I assume that's why they originally came in styrofoam carriers. Glass is scary to ship.

If you do though, I'm your guy. Would be interested in a few. I really like the look of these. What are the dimensions if you don't mind?

Carboy 12" x 20.5"
Styrofoam 17" x 25"

It would perfectly fit in my ferm chamber too!

 

[WI_Wino]

3 carboys left

 

[Chupidacabra]

Just waiting on that go ahead for shipping

 

[WI_Wino]

PM your zip. I doubt it's going to be cost effective though. Initially estimates through UPS are showing $60 to ship each one...

 

[Chupidacabra]

**** haha, I wonder how the suppliers get such a good deal. My first whole home brew kit with 2 carboys was like 15 dollars.

59102- If it is crazy than I'll pass I suppose but those containers are sweet looking.

 

[WI_Wino]

UPS is $42 per carboy. CRAZY.

 

[Chupidacabra]

Blah. That's way too much. Thanks for trying though.

If shipping to 60450 is reasonable I'm interested. Let me know.

Is $28.59 reasonable?

What you should do is make a pilgrimage to New Glarus Brewery, pickup a couple carboys along the way, and make a day trip out of it.

 

[Chupidacabra]

That does sound like a good time.

 

[colbreeze]

Is that shipping per carboy or for all 3, if it's all 3 we may have a deal.

 

[WI_Wino]

Sorry, that's for one. Apparently it is crazy expensive for a regular Joe to ship stuff this large.

 

[colbreeze]

Oh wow, ok. If I decide to head up that way I'll let you know.

 

[WI_Wino]

bumping, someone please buy these before I fill them up and have to answer to my wife.

 

[smagic14]

Trying to see it it will fit in my ferm chamber

I wanna know where did you get the Styrofoam Could be nice for stable fermentations

 

[skipper1953]

Came with carboys when I bought them, I don't know where you could buy it separately.

 

[WI_Wino]

Sale of the remaining three is pending. If it falls through I'll pm you.

 

[WI_Wino]

Carboys sold, thanks for all the interest!
