Brand New 18.9L Glass Carboy, Empty

Description

Brand New Carboy, 18.9 L (5 Gallon) Empty Glass Water Bottle

A new empty 18.9 L (5 gallon) glass carboy, the premium upgrade from plastic water bottles. Heavy-duty glass for serious home brewers, water enthusiasts who want zero-plastic storage, and small businesses bottling specialty products.

Glass is the gold standard for taste and purity: no leaching, no flavour transfer, no UV-related degradation when stored properly. Heavier than PET, but if you’re refilling and storing in one place, kitchen, basement, brewery, that’s not the limitation it sounds like.

Why Glass Over Plastic?

• Zero plastic taste, water and beverages stay pure
• No BPA concerns, no phthalates, no microplastics
• Easy to sanitize, boiling water cleaning works
• Lasts decades versus years for PET
• Premium look for storage in visible spaces

Who buys this one

• Home brewers, beer, wine, kombucha, water kefir
• Premium drinking-water storage
• Cold-brew coffee and tea making
• Specialty beverage businesses
• Anyone going zero-plastic in the kitchen

Note on Glass & Handling

Glass carboys are heavy (approximately 7 kg empty, 26 kg full). They’re durable but they will break if dropped on a hard surface. Plan for two-handed lifting or a carboy carrier, and if you’re using one for brewing, store it on a low shelf rather than overhead.
