What should I do with these

[SoCalBrewing]

I know Im a low brewtime n00b, but I have already had the unfortunate experience of blowing up a glass carboy. It was a few years back, but I remember it like yesterday. I cleaned a carboy with hot water to help with killing the bacteria. Then I went to fill it with the water needed in addition to my partial boil, and pop goes the weasel. Luckily I had a plastic bucket on hand and I fermented with that.

Now, I have seen the picture of Edworts Apfelwiezen, and obvioiusly he uses the Better Bottles. I have also seen several other users that recommend using them, and all of them are big time brewers.

So to get to the point I went ahead and bought 2*6 gallon, and 4*5 gallon Better Bottle carboys. I wanted consistency, and I knew I needed at least one more of each.

Now currently I have 1*5 gallon, and 1*6.5 gallon glass carboys. Im not gonna have room for all this stuff in my 1 bedroom apartment, so I want to rid myself of the glass units. Granted my new Better Bottles stuff wont be here for probably a week, but what do you guys recommend I do with my old stuff. CL maybe? Id hate to just trash it since they cost a good $25 each.

I don't see how you could go wrong using Craigslist. You should be able to get more than just trashing them and Craiglist is free.

If you get stuck with having to throw 'em away let me know and I'll send you a shipping address to the salvation army for brewing equipment

Craigslist. There are plenty of homebrewers that will only use glass (if you haven't noticed).

I sold all of mine before upgrading to Better Bottles. I advertised my 5 gallon (all 4 of them) carboys to my local home brew club for $18 and they were gone in a day.

Before you consider trashing them, give this fellow SoCal-brewer a shout with your asking price. I'm fond of glass, and could certainly use another carboy or two.
