How many Carboys do you own?

[passedpawn]

(5) 6g Better Bottles
(2) 5g glass that will be given away / traded as soon as I bottle my sour brown.

 

[TrubHead]

Only two 5 gallon buckets since that's capacity of the little chest freezer.

 

[MisterTipsy]

I only have one carboy BB and feel horribly inadequate compared to those who have more carboys.

It ain't the number that counts, it's how you use 'em. (err...it.)

 

[MisterTipsy]

I still feel like I need more carboys now.

 

[Redcat]

Fermenters:

5 - 30L Kegs, just a hair bigger than a 1/4 BBL keg
2 - 6G Carboy
1 - 5G Carboy

I also have two 15.5G kegs I could use to ferment in. I tried it once, and it was just too much weight to move around. I also have two 10G Corny kegs that I can ferment in, but haven't used yet. I will try to get them to hold pressure, and if I can't then I'll use them as fermenters maybe.

5. All glass.

6.5g, 6g, 5g, 4.75g x2.

I'm wishing i'd held out for a 5.5g instead of the 5, and i haven't even used it yet as a secondary.

The 4.75g (18L) carboys were found at a yard sale for $5/ea. One of them is full of apfelwein. they really, truly, seriously do not hold 5 gallons. Not in any way as you'd be comfortable using anyway. Depending on how accurate my reference jug really is, 5g in those is either half way up the neck or a couple tablespoons spilled on the floor.

 

[thrstyunderwater]

8-10 carboys and 10 buckets.

 

[Spraentart]

Two 5G Car Boys. I'm probably going to get a 6G here soon.

 

[Darkness]

2-15gal demi John
5-6gal buckets
5-5gal Better Bottle
3-5gal Glass
2-3gal glass

 

[CBXBob]

4 6 gallon buckets, 2 6.5 gallon glass carboys (used less and less) 4 stainless steel pots.
WHAT I'd like to have: Digital hydrometer !

 

[caiafa]

5 x 13 gal demijohns
3 x 6 gal
2 x 7 gal buckets
and a couple of key kegs with the lining removed that I find rather good for fermenting stuff in them

 

[dfc]

I own one, but never use it. I like the idea of not severing a nerve or tendon.

 

[Bubba]

4 buckets brew every other week very rarely run out of beer.

 

[Drewski8986]

6 plastic carboys from more beer
3 glass carboys

 

[beergolf]

1 6.5 gallon carboy
3. 5 gallon carboys
4. buckets.

The 5 gallon carboys very rarely see any use. The other five fermenters are usually full.

 

[Jakeintoledo]

I own four 6gal better bottles. About once a month, I buy another one. what's interesting is, as you buy more, you brew more. Go figure, right? LOL

 

[chumpsteak]

I have 6 - 6 gallon better bottles. I'd probably have more, but that's all that fit in my ferm chamber.

 

[Slowfro]

(3) 7.5 gallon buckets
(3) 6 gallon carboys
(4) 5.5 gallon carboys

I think I need more...

 

[Buzzbeer]

one 6 gal glass
one 5 gal glass
two 6 gal BB
two 5 gal BB

Love those Better Bottles, that's all I buy now when I need more

My LHBS has 5 gal BB's for $25 and 5 gal glass for $33. Buy from these guys, they are new and would appreciate your business!

 

[Gamer]

[Qhrumphf]

one 6.5 gallon glass, one 6 gallon glass, one 5 gallon glass, and three 6.7 gallon buckets.

 

[cjtrask67]

I have two glass 5 gallon carboys that I got at a garage sale for 5 dollars a piece. I'd check around on Craigslist first, you may find a steal like I did!

 

[Oddball]

two buckets, two glass carboys (6.5 G), and one plastic carboy (5 G)....

I have three 7.5 gallon glass (free) and one 5 gallon ($5 on CL). None have seen any action to date. All the horror stories on here have me thinking. So far all fermenting has been in my 7.5 gallon plastic bucket.

Some day, I'll use those suckers.

As long as your not moving them around much (full) they are pretty safe. The brewhauler straps and milk crates also help. I slipped in the shower a couple of times, damn near killed myself! Still showering, but have my life alert in a plastic baggie.:rockin:

 

[JasonToews]

I have 12 glass carboys which are pretty much always full hehe. Just picked up 200+lb of grain, sack of pils, 2 sacks of pale 2 row, sack and a half of wheat, sack of flaked wheat and a sack of munich and a huge variety of specialty malts Sooo they get filled quite frequently
