Carboy!!!!!!!!!

Hey anyone want to sell or get rid of some carboys let me know I'm looking for 2 gallon and bigger i'll pay shipping. Jpoelke

 

where would these carboys be shipped to?

 

I'm in Bakersfield, Ca. What all do you have? And how much do you want? Thanks for the reply.

 

I have nothing to offer, but those who do want to know where to ship. There has to be a homebrew shop in the vicinity of Bakersfield that you could buy from. Good luck to you.

 

A new 5 gal carboy at my LHBS is about $30, 6.5 gal is $35. I don't think it would be worth the cost of packaging and shipping and insurance. From what I've seen of Fed-Ex and UPS deliveries recently, insurance will be a must.

I also saw these on Craigslist in your area:

Brew brewing supplies - $100 (Bakersfield)

3 gallon carboy / demijohn jug - $25 (Santa Barbara)

homebrewing equipment (full setup) - never used - $175 (santa barbara - mesa)

 

It's funny you would think there would be a brewery supply by Bakersfield but there isn't the closest I've found is in S.L.O. But that's 2 hours away.... Bako sucks.....

 

Bencomo's in Fresno... I have a 5 gallon carboy, used once, I'd sell ya... maybe a drive to Fresno would be the better bet? PM if interested.

 

Just saw this one thru Amazon, $30 for a 6 gallon carboy with free shipping...

Paklab Glass Carboy 23 Liter, 1.9-Pound Box

 

Thats a good deal. nice find mike.

 

Yeah I know. It will cost me less to order that 6 gal than it will to pick up a 5 gal at my LHBS, especially when tax and fuel are figured in.

 

Compare prices with Bells (and shipping)

thanks! just ordered 2. now if I could get the same deal on a couple 5 gal.

 

Why? Just use 6 gallon. I brew 5 gallon batches in my 30 gallon primary if my others are busy. Well not anymore I have a ton of fermenters now but I used too.

 

25 gallons worth of headspace volume oxygen isn't bad for the cider?

 

I've never had any adverse effects from the head space. I probably brewed 20 or 30 batches that way.

 

Good to know. Go big or go home then!
