Handcraft Wide Mouth Glass Fermenter with Tap 22.3L (Large Glass Carboy)

The Handcraft Supplies Large Wide Mouth Glass Fermenter with Tap is a 22.3-litre glass carboy for anyone who wants the benefits of glass over plastic. Glass won't absorb odours or stain, so it stays clean batch after batch, and the wide mouth makes it easy to fill, clean and add fruit or oak.

Bung sold separately: this fermenter needs a rubber bung with hole (fits the 5L and 22.3L) and an airlock, both sold separately.

Key features

• 22.3 litre glass fermenter (carboy)
• Size: 42cm high (not including the airlock) × 29.5cm wide
• Wide mouth for easy filling, cleaning and adding fruit
• Built-in tap for easy sampling and bottling, no siphon needed
• Carry strap included for safer handling
• Glass won't absorb odours or stain
• Suitable for wine, beer, cider and mead

It holds 22.3 litres filled to the brim, so it's too small for a full 23 litre kit: check your batch size and leave room for foam. It stands 42cm tall without the airlock and is 29.5cm wide, so measure your cupboard, brewing fridge or shelf first - and allow extra height for the bung and airlock.

Clean before first use and sanitise before every batch with ChemSan no-rinse sanitiser. Glass is heavy when full, so always lift and carry it with the strap and support the base, and avoid sudden temperature changes such as hot water into a cold carboy.
