Does anyone have a picture of a marked 6 gallon carboy..I need to either etch my carboy or mark with some kind of tape for future brews but until i do can someone post a picture of their 6 gallon marked carboy so i can get a visual reference or rough estimate of the 5-5.5 gallon mark? thank you

Carboys from different origins will be of different heights and diameters. Might be more accurate for you to measure the diameter of your carboy and then use the basic volume formula of a cylinder to determine the height for five gallons.

edit: It won't make much difference in volumes of CO2 if you add priming sugar for 5 gallons but only bottle 4.5 gallons.

^This. Or you can just add 125 grams of sugar and call it good.
