  Pros Cons
Glass Carboy
  • Clarity
  • Glass itself is definitely not oxygen permeable
  • Can't scratch
  • Will not wear out
  • 6.5g glass may be more desirable than 6g Better Bottle
  • Heavier
  • Breakable (Empty or full)
  • 6.5g and 5g glass have 2 different mouth diameters
  • Cannot use spigot when racking
  • Shape can vary slightly
  • Can crack if hot liquid is poured into
Better Bottle
  • Lighter
  • Safer - No glass shards if broken
  • Cheaper Shipping
  • Can have a spigot installed
  • Standardized mouth for 6g and 5g
  • Uniform size and shape
  • Not as clear for viewing
  • Can be scratched
  • Will show signs of wear and tear
  • Long term oxygen permeability unknown (?)
  • Tendency to flex if you pick up a full one, possibly allowing airlock water into your wort
  • Will not hold negative pressure which is important if you use a Wort Wizard
