    I have a local kitchen store selling glass "water" 5 gallon carboy for $33. It says do not pressurize. This is designed for use with water on the box.
    I am wondering if it could be used as a secondary. Anyone have a reason why not?

    Thanks!

    all of the new ones say water on the box, none of them are designed to hold pressure. Its a standard glass carboy.

    We don't have any pressure in carboys, so they should be fine.

    The airlock relieves the pressure of the co2 formed inside of the carboy during fermentation so there's no excessive pressure.
