General Homebrew Discussion

I have six.

hmmm

I probably have 5 or 6 but most are gathering dust

3

2 five gallon glass

2 six gallon Better Bottles

4

I have one 6.5 gallon glass carboy, four 5 gallon glass carboys, and a Pyrex 2-1/2 gallon carboy that was given me by a lab.

I have six 6.5 gallon and 6 5 gallon.  I don’t use the 5 gallon ones anymore for the most part.

7

Hmm…

2 10 gallon corny kegs
4 6/6.5 gallon carboys
4 5 gallon carboys (only used for long, long aged projects - e.g. sours/meads)

8

I have 8 carboys-- all 3 gallon Better Bottles.  I brew half recipes, can’t lift a full glass 5 gallon carboy, and I like a variety of beer around.

4 - 6gal Better Bottles (so far, really liking these)
2 - 6gal glass
4 - 5gal glass

By the end of the day, I hope to have something fermenting in all but 1 of them.

10

2 - 6 gal
3 - 5 gal
1 - 3 gal
1 - 6 gal Better Bottle
1 - 3 gal Better Bottle

3 6.5 gallon ones for primary fermentation when the conical is tied up.
3 6 gallon ones for dry hopping with irrational exuberance.
8 5 gallon carboys for ‘normal’ dry hopping, aging, ciders and meads.
2 2.5 gallon ones for cider and mead.

I know people with more than that.

12

I only got one 5-gallon and one 6-gallon  :o

13

1 six gallon, 2 five gallon and 2 three gallon. And a bunch of buckets, too.

14

It’ll probably get worse.

15

Just two.  But that’s enough for me.

16

As of now I only have one. I’m thinning them out and making the merge to buckets. (I have a buddy who finishes drywall, so I get them a dime a dozen.  ;D)

17

Jeez, I don’t really know. I have about a dozen each of 1,3,5,6 gallon and if I remember right, 3 6.5 gallon. An 8 gallon stainless conical and a dozen or so buckets.

18

I have one. I’m thinkin I got scammed into thinkin I needed it. Buckets work fine and are lighter, safer, and cheaper.

19

They aren’t “really” required. I do mostly primary fermentation and use buckets. Now if I am going to a secondary fermentation to clear a beer, I rack to a carboy. Also, If I am doing a lager I do it in glass. Most all of my glass and Better Bottle carboy’s are for winemaking.

I have 5: 2 6.5’s, 2 5’s, and a 3. All are glass and I wish I would have gotten plastic all along.
