Brand New Carboy – 18.9L Glass Bottle 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 sanitise — boiling water cleaning works
• Lasts decades versus years for PET
• Premium look for storage in visible spaces

🏠 Perfect For

• 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.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
