North Mountain Supply - 1G-38-ST-TB-1 1 Gallon Glass Fermenting Jug with Handle, 6.5 Rubber Stopper, Twin Bubble Airlock, Black Plastic Lid (Set of 1)

Get to beewing. Fantastic kit.

I have 10 or 20 or 30 of these. Do the mash in a bucket and let it off gas the fusels a bit. Then proceed to this jug (without the mash, obviously). Use the black cap to give the jug a good shake (if you're adding sugar or honey or something that needs to be dissolved) then replace it with the carbuoy. Use the yellow cap to reduce evaporation and keep flies out the carbuoy.

For 13 bucks it's great. Everything else you can get at the grocery store to start brewing. Other people had issues with the rubber stopper(bung) but mine was perfectly fine. The airlock is a little different where the yellow cap on the airlock you see in the picture doesn't have holes on top. Very lightly or just placing the cap on top should be fine and perhaps superior because the cap will only lift when gas is escaping during fermentation making it even hard for things like small bugs or files to get in.

So, the jug and airlock are good and will get the job done overall. However, the issue with this is the Rubber Stopper that comes with it. The stopper size is a #6.5 which is rated more for the large Carboys of the 6 gallon variety. This 1 gallon Jug needs a #6 Rubber Stopper. Because of this, I have been using duck tape as a means of holding the stopper down. Would be great if the seller corrects this issue for future orders. This wont stop me from purchasing these in the future, just need to make the mental note of also purchasing the #6 stopper to go with it.

great for HOT sauce

I've made a few different batches of homebrewed adult beverages. These carboys have served me well as fermenters. I recommend them and will buy more in future.

i really appreciate North Mountain took back the first one as the rubber stopper just slipped through. Thank you.

Great glass jug! Started my batches of mead no problem. when everything is mixed and you are ready to put the cork in with the air lock in...once you push the cork down, you are putting air pressure into the bottle. You will most likely see the cork pop up just a tad bit, its normal. You still have a good seal on the bottle. Don't freak out. Now if your air lock isn't bubbling, then maybe there could be an issue but in reality there still isn't really an issue. As long as air isn't getting IN you are golden. I have 1 light mead and one normal mead brewing. So far so good. Will buy more eventually.
