FastRack 5 Gallon Glass Carboy | Clear Italian Glass Fermenter for Wine & Beer Brewing, Home Fermentation Container | Durable Jug for Storage or Aging, Fits #7 Stopper (Not Included)

Best upgrade for my water system. I combined this with a battery powered nozzle and reusable silicone 5 gal bottle cap for daily water use. It’s perfect for filling bottles, brushing teeth, and/ or hand washing. Nice option for van life too. There was no funky taste straight out of the box and it came really clean, although I still gave it a good rinse before first use. Definitely more aesthetically pleasing than those ugly plastic 5 gallon jugs.

Jug is well made and fit my Culligan cooler just fine. The only concern I had was the shipping Styrofoam and box were totally inadequate for the trip. The thin piece of Styrofoam over the neck was in two pieces and the cardboard box was beat to pieces. I half expected to find the neck with chips in the rim but it was surprisingly not damaged. If you buy this jug be sure to inspect it for damage upon arrival. 100% satisfied otherwise.

Amazing quality. We use it for spring water. Works perfect.

This is a beautiful 5 gallon glass bottle in perfect condition. There is another vendor selling the same bottle at the same price but I noticed Amazon said that vendor gets lots of returns. Well in the comments section people were returning it because of many scratches. This is a reputable vendor selling quality bottles with no scratches. Be careful which vendor you choose.

This product is absolutely fantastic and is exactly as described by seller. I consider the quality of this product to be “high end”, and the weight of the product makes it very durable and strong. I use this jug as my “vacation” jug as I put all of my loose change and dollar bills in it. I definitely recommend this product.

I bought two of these glass jars in 2018. PROS: This is a nice 5-gallon jug with clear, thick glass with an elegant design feature. There are a number of different tops available online, I bought the press-on type that has a pressable tab for dispensing. To dispense the water I lift up the jug and invert it to dispense the water into 1 gallon jars for daily consumption. Which brings me to the cons. CONS: 1. When filled with water, these jugs weigh approximately 42 pounds (based on the density of water) but it certainly feels heavier than 42 pounds. Of course, if the glass has the least amount of moister on it, it takes "considerable effort" to handle. I dropped one last week, which is why I am here today ordering another one, it was not attractive...(smile). At any rate, if weight is a problem, the 3-gallon jugs may be an alternative. There are also handles and dispensers for these types of jugs but I did not buy these particular items so I can comment on them. 2. With the small mouth (about 2 inches across), it will be a bit of a hassle to the clean. I have two and I only fill them with reverse osmosis water so I do not anticipate such a problem.

We ordered 5 gallon bottles for our water dispenser. These are gorgeous and of super high quality. We were worried about damage during shipping. Nope!!! They came in one piece. Great packaging protection. The bottles are made in Italy not china. Grateful for the expansion of trade, now our money can buy higher quality products from other countries. LOVE, LOVE,LOVE THESE

Item listing does not say these carboys are all defective, but seller confirms that they all contain 4-5 inch scratches in the surface of the glass on the bottom of them which is a result of a defect in the mould the glass was cast in. The seller is charging top dollar for these but they are not disclosing that they are defective - you are better off buying one of these from a local beer/wine shop instead of on Amazon, as they apparently support this dishonest business practice. The seller reassured me that the item still works as intended, despite the crack - however I see other reviews saying that the bottom breaks out easily, and if that happens this is not going to potentially damage your home or whatever building you store the carboy in, but can be a safety hazard as well. The seller says they will accept a return, however the only option they appear to allow is to package up the carboy, tape it and print out a label, and drive it 25 minutes away to a UPS dropoff location which costs money for gas as well as my time - which is more valuable than the cost of the item, for me.

Me gustó, llegó íntegro

Not used, bottle neck was too small

I use it for my water dispenser, the best option to avoid microplastics in your water dispenser.

Great replacement to the plastic jugs. I use two of these in conjunction with a water distiller. Kind of heavy to be lifting up and down, specially once full of water. Best to be slid across the floor if possible.

I got two of these 5G glass water jugs to store water for emergency use. They are quite sturdy, large and heavy but easy to move when empty - i.e. don't try to fill it with water until you position it in a location where you intend to use it. It does hold 5G.- used a 1G glass jug to fill the ones I purchased. Why glass over plastic - over time plastic jugs leach carcinogens which are cancer causing agents whereas glass does not - unless the glass is treated or leaded-glass which, from what I have been able to determine these are not (in process of getting a lead testing kit) Also for the environment reasons, I trust glass over plastic any day - glass is far easier to recycle than plastic. One final point - the jug does not come with a stopper, however I was able to find stoppers on Amazon that fit and seal the jug quite nicely. I would also advise if you are using this for emergency use to get a pump - electric or manual. Also found them on Amazon for a good price and in the process of purchasing.
