carboy

I brewed 5 gallons of Kölsch, and filled them into the five 1 gallon carboys I had on hand. The last one I only managed to fill halfway so I topped off with RO water figuring it would all even out when I kegged (the original gravity was on the high side) I tasted the one I topped off, and it...

I thought I was slick with my modified 6 gal carboy orange cap with a thermowell stolen from a stopper setup for a budget version of this thing after taking advice from the board, but damn I was wrong. The orange cap worked great for one 7-day primary. The next time I used it, I thought I...

I picked up a used carboy for really cheap at a garage sale yesterday and due to the lovely price, I guess I missed spotting the scratches on the inside of the fermenter. I remember reading somewhere that scratches can harbor old bacteria or yeast from previous batches. I'm wondering what you...

Hi all! Does anyone have any experience sourcing used, good quality, large capacity fermenting tanks? My small orchard (~400 trees) is coming into bearing age, and it's time for me to start thinking about moving away from 5 gallon plastic carboys and put on my big boy pants. I'm specifically...

Hey Everyone..... - I melted down some Swedish Berry candies into red syrup. - Boiled it in a gallon of water. - Added sugar and acid blend - Added a cup of green tea And so far, it seems to be fermenting! Check out my photos!

I currently have 4 8gal plastic bucket style fermenters as well as 5 glass carboys. I am thinking about selling my carboys but want opinions before I did anything drastic (like selling brew gear) Pro’s Can be sanitized after a sour batch Can be sanitized after an infection Con’s Heavy Risk...

Looking into fermentation cooling I noticed that many options are quite costly. Brew Bucket = $$$ (Big Money) Grainfather = $$$ (Expensive) Glycol chillers = $$$ (Costly and complicated - No way Jose) Brew Jacket = $$$ (Whoa, I'll have to save up a long time for this one) Runnig air conditioner...

I made a temperature-controlled fermentation chamber by buying a minifridge off kijiji (craigslist for Canada), removing the plastic shelving on the door, then gluing the rubber (vinyl?) outline that holds the seal for the fridge door back onto it. I asked someone at the hardware store what glue...

what were once a few little brownish teeny yeast pellets have become larger white globs that look very much like mold. i'm trying not to freak out because i know for certain what is on the neck is also inside the beer below, but it's really difficult to ignore. i am trying very hard to...

I have extra 5g glass carboys, looking for a few Corney kegs (5g). In Seattle. Anyone want to trade?

Does anyone know the outside diameter of a glass, 6.5 gallon acid carboy in inches? These are the only ones to my knowledge with smooth sides (unlike the ridged Italian 6 gallon jobs). I plan to buy one by need to be sure everything fits in my fermentation set-up. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have several 1 gallon glass jugs that I'm thinking about using as mini trial-fermenters. I was thinking about just throwing them in the dishwasher for a sanitize cycle. They are already cleaned and rinsed, but I figured I could let the dishwasher do the sanitation work since I'm feeling...

Hey all, My first post to this forum resulted in a couple really helpful answers, so I'm going to just go ahead and ask my next question. I'm in the midst of the primary stage of a draft beer (Brewers Spring Draft Lager), which seems to be going well enough. I had a bit of a muck-up where...

So I recently told a friend of mine that I brewed a not crappy batch of beer. He informed me that he had one glass carboy (containing exactly 1 dead mummified mouse) and one what looks like plastic bottling bucket, but one that comes with a airtight seal (minus 1 o-ring), that I don't recognize...

Hello, So I cooked up the first batch last night. Just under 5 gallons in a 5 gallon glass carboy. I realized that I had reason for concern and decided to replace the fermentation lock with a blowoff hose today. I bought the necessary plastic tubing and removed the rubber cork from the...
