The Handcraft Supplies Small Wide Mouth Glass Fermenter with Tap is a 5-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 23L) and an airlock, both sold separately.
Key features
- 5 litre glass fermenter (carboy)
- 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
At 5 litres it's ideal for one-gallon fruit wines, mead, small test batches and the 6-bottle wine kits.
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.
