This North Mountain Supply 5 gallon Italian glass carboy fermenting jug set gives you the core equipment needed for larger batch fermentations. The 5 gallon capacity is a classic size for homebrewers and winemakers, making it a great choice for primary or secondary fermentation of beer, wine, cider and other beverages.
The carboy is made from premium Italian glass known for its clarity and durability. The clear glass lets you easily monitor fermentation activity, observe clarity and track sediment buildup without opening the vessel. With proper care and handling, this carboy is built to provide reliable service over many batches.
To support different stages and styles of use, the set includes both a drilled and an undrilled rubber stopper. The drilled stopper is used in combination with the included 6 bubble airlock when you are actively fermenting, allowing CO2 to escape while helping to keep outside air and contaminants out. The undrilled stopper can be used when you want to close the carboy for storage, conditioning or other non venting applications.
This simple, focused set covers the essential pieces most makers need to start fermenting right away. The 5 gallon size is ideal for large batch projects that still fit comfortably in typical home brewing spaces, and the straightforward setup keeps the process approachable and fun.
Beyond beer and wine, the carboy can be used for a wide range of creative projects. It is well suited for pickling and sauce making, experimenting with new flavor combinations, or even for storing and displaying liquids when properly cleaned and sealed. A creative mindset will find plenty of ways to put a sturdy, clear 5 gallon glass vessel to work.
