Overview
A homebrewer fermenting full batches gets a heavy PET plastic carboy with smooth sides and a one piece airtight lid. The lid has a hole sized for a stopper of the listed size, which you supply.
Wide mouth access makes cleaning simpler, and the ribless walls give sediment nothing to hold. Volume marks help with filling. The package does not include the stopper or airlock, and hot liquids can damage the plastic.
Who it's for
Brewers making full size batches who like a wide opening and clear marks. Those who prefer glass, or who want an all-in-one kit, should look at other fermenters.
Pros and cons
- Wide mouth for cleaning access
- Smooth sides without ribs
- Volume markings on the side
- Impermeable to oxygen per the maker
- Stopper not included
- Airlock not included
- Hot liquids can damage it
Performance notes
The smooth walls leave nothing for yeast or sediment to cling to, and the wide mouth gives room to reach in. The plastic is stated to be oxygen impermeable and free of taste and odor. Staying under the stated temperature limit protects the shape.
