Glass Carboy | Fermenter | Smooth Neck | Narrow Mouth | 6.5 Gallon

Rated 5 out of 5

Preferred over plastic

I love my glass carboy! It's sturdy, easy to clean, and doesn't scratch. Best of all, when I need to move it, the walls don't flex and disrupt the pressure inside sucking air and/or sanitizer into my beer.

Exactly what you need for primary fermentation

Has plenty of space for primary fermentation - may need overflow set up for more rigorous brews but in the main is a perfect size.

Only 6.5 gal carboys

Started with one 5 gallon glass carboy and it just wasn't enough room for 5 gallons, so we could only use as secondary...have purchased 6.5 gallon glass carboys since, cuts down on blow outs.

classic choice

Smooth interior finish means no place for bacteria to hide. Easy to clean and small opening on neck reduces chance of "bugs" getting in. Also ensures that you get a full 5 gallons of drinkable brew after fermentation dry hop into your keg.

Great carboy

I have a couple of these that I use for primary fermentation with grat results. I have had to use blow-off tubes on high gravity beers, but I have no complaints on the product.

Definitely the way to go

I have used these for 4 years now. the 6.5 glass carboys are the perfect size fermenters for 5 gallon batches. They leave enough room for high krausen, which is perfect if you have a blowoff tube.

The only size I buy now.

Forget the 5g carboys. I only buy 6.5 now. Perfect for 5g batch so you can dry hop easily.

Nice, big, easy to clean

I decided I no longer trusted my PET carboys. Scrubbing is more satisfying than soaking. Plus, having an extra 1/2 gallon of headspace is very nice. Will be putting it to the test with a hefeweizen this weekend. No defects in the glass noted. I etched gallon and 1/2 gallon markings on mine to better monitor brewhouse efficiency.

Great Size

Bought the 6.5 and the 5 gallon carboys as an addition to my original pair. Cost is basically the same at other home brew sites, but shipping is much cheaper when buying from MoreBeer.

6.5 Gallon Smooth Neck Carboy

These carboys (as an industry standard) should hold more like 7.5 gallons, give or take a small amount. I was very disappointed with my purchase because MoreBeer! changed suppliers for these carboys. The properly sized carboys typically have a smooth body wheres the version I received had the cross hatched pattern. The problem is that if you are expecting a true 6.5 gallon carboy, you will not receive one as long as they are using this particular supplier. What you will receive is one that will hold exactly 6.5 gallons to the base of the neck and you will not have the headspace that you will be expecting if you have been purchasing carboys for any length of time. I do, however give MoreBeer! credit for accepting my return even though they stated to me "if it holds 6.5 gallons, then our product is not being falsely advertised." Industry standard is the key phrase here which is where I have a problem. I ended up forced to purchase their threaded neck version which was not what I wanted, however delivers the capacity that I was expecting with the smooth neck version. You should also be aware that I found some cracks in mine so check them over carefully upon receipt. I was too frustrated by this point to deal with sending it back and the location of the crack will probably be okay, for the most part. I do not mean to rant, however I would like to have known this information prior to my purchase.

great for a 5 gallon batch

In my opinion this is the best, cost effective primary fermenter. Sure, plastic is cheaper but they will only last so long even if you take care of them. Plastic scratches, and bacteria love to hide in the scratches, which leads to an infected batch.

6.5

I've brewed a Pale Ale, Kolsch, and Pliny in the 6.5 and they all hold the different fermentations well. Pliny went close to the top of the cayboy and I was glad to have the extra .5 gallon space.

Extra .5 gallon head space is a huge improvement.

Having the extra head space means I don't have blow offs, as 1.5 gallons is big enough to hold the Krausen, while 6 gallons is not. Easy to clean, wont easily scratch so you can use a brush, and a rotating carboy cleaner. I use a brew hauler to move it safely.

Glass Carboy (6.5 Gallon) - Smooth Neck

Purchased this carboy because my previous one broke when it tip over while draining it from sanitizer. Carboy is sufficient and provides the correct amount of head space for a 5 gallon fermentation.

6.5 gallon glass carboy smooth top

The glass is free of bubbles and any other defects. The glass carboy is simply the best for home brewers and up to use for fermenting.

Thanks for the great product and excellent service (Concord, CA showroom)

BIG

The way to go for primary ferments with some head space. I can brew a pretty high gravity beer and still not have the airlock filling up with yeast.
