5 Gallon Glass Carboy

A 5 gallon glass carboy is an airtight, odor-resistant, and highly durable fermenter—perfect for the secondary fermentation of beer or wine. Unlike plastic buckets or PET fermenters, glass carboys won’t scratch or degrade over time. If handled with care, they’ll deliver reliable results for decades of homebrewing.

Many brewers prefer glass for its longevity and ability to be sanitized easily without retaining flavors or aromas. When paired with the right stopper and airlock, this carboy provides a sealed environment to help reduce the risk of oxidation and contamination.

Compatible stoppers include:

• Small Universal Stopper – Drilled
• #6.5 Rubber Stopper – Drilled

Our packaging team has developed specialized handling and shipping protection so your glass carboy arrives safely and ready to use. For even more security when moving a full carboy, we recommend the Universal Harness.
