Vintage Shop PET6 Carboy6 6 Gallon Plastic Carboy

Like most people, I have a bit of an aversion to plastic. I bought several of these with the intention of using them only to transport grape juice, but they are so darn easy to work with that I ended up using some of them for fermentation too. They are very lightweight. They can be crumpled or deformed if you treat them harshly, but if you're reasonably careful they will be more than strong enough to transport or hold whatever liquid you put in them. My only word of caution is regarding the width of the mouth and the right size stopper. The ones Amazon suggests to go with these do NOT fit. They are too small. You'll want #10 stoppers. I ordered the "Drilled Rubber Stopper #10 Set of 3" from Home Brew Ohio and they fit perfectly. One other thing to note is that because the plastic sides bend and deform, you will not be able to use any type of vacuum pump with these. I tried using a vacuum pump to degas CO2 and didn't get very far. The side walls began to squeeze inward and I almost sucked wine into the pump.

Lo que estaba buscando. Igual a la foto. Lo que esperaba

Got this as a gift for my dad after he dmashed his glass one. He loves it and has made quite a few batches of good wine so far

Let's face it, glass is heavy, even when empty. These make excellent secondary fermenters. No noticeable scent or taste of plastic in the final product. They clean up easy with a little water pressure/jet nozzle and accommodate siphon and silicone line with ease. Will buy again when needed.

1. Ce produit est affiché 18L alors que c'est un 23L (6 gallons). C'est ce que les vinificateurs maison recherchent mais ne trouve pas. Heureusement en utiki 2. Le terme PET plastique signifie un plastique grade nourriture alors que vous l'avez traduit en français comme étant 'Plastique pour votre animal domestique'. Croyez-moi, mon chat n'entre pas la dedans. Quelqu'un a fait une mauvaise gestion de ce produit.
