Our verdict

A light plastic carboy for small homebrew batches. The listing mentions no cap, stopper or airlock, so confirm what is needed to seal it.

Overview

A homebrewer working on small batches gets a PET plastic carboy made thicker than a soda bottle. It is meant for use during fermentation and is described as more resistant to oxygen than regular plastic.

A small, light fermenter for anyone brewing in limited batches. The plastic is easy to handle and is cleaned after each use. Closures are not described, so the seal needs sorting out separately.

Who it's for

Beginning and experienced homebrewers making smaller batches. Brewers who want a bigger vessel, or one with the stopper and airlock included, should choose a different carboy.

The thick PET wall limits oxygen passing through to the beer during fermentation. Cleaning after each use is what lets the carboy last for years. The listing does not describe the neck opening or how to seal it.
