The Kegco 6.5 Gallon Wide Mouth Glass Carboy is a perfect fermentation vessel for 5 gallon batches! It has enough head space above the surface of 5 gallons of liquid to allow foamy kraeusen to form on top of the beer. Its 6" wide opening allows you to easily reach inside the jar to clean or add and remove ingredients. These glass jars have a smooth surface that does not scratch easily, so there's nowhere for bacteria to hide and cause nasty odors and tastes. Since they do not break down over time, they can provide decades of great performance if you handle them with care.

The plastic lid creates an airtight seal on the jar, but it has a recessed area with a removable cap that allows you to install an airlock to release gasses during fermentation. When you install the included breather cap and fill the recessed area with sanitizer, it will bubble off gas without letting in oxygen or other contaminants. Nylon straps are also provided to make transportation of the glass container more safe and simple.

Works well with #5 natural latex rubber stopper with a 3/8" hole. The stopper features a top diameter of 27 mm, bottom diameter of 23 mm, and length of 25 mm.
