North Mountain Supply 1 Gallon Glass Fermenting Jug with Handle, 6.5 Rubber Stopper, 2-Piece Airlock, Black Plastic Lid - Set of 4

I've been using these mostly for secondary fermentation of mead and cider. There's not much that you could do in making a jug to make that better or worse, but these are definitely a good value for getting them delivered to your doorstep. The airlock stopper can be hard to keep stuck into the jug if you try and put it in while things are wet, but after drying both the jug's neck and the stopper it has worked well. They're nice and sturdy; compared to an empty Carlo Rossi jug, these are clearly much thicker and better quality. I've pasteurized fresh pressed apple juice in them by putting a full bottle in a stock pot filled with boiling water (if you do this, make sure you have a trivet or something to raise the bottle off the bottom of the pot). Was able to get the juice up to temperature and then cap it with the included non-airlock caps. The neck of these jugs is also wide enough to fit the oak cubes that North Mountain Supply sells, so you can age your ferments on oak quite easily.

I like these for secondary. Narrow tops are hard to clean and put ingredients in for primary, I use wide mouths and rack into these for secondary. I am not a fan of the included airlock for primary either; the S trap style makes it easier to see activity. However, they are great to keep for when you cold crash and need a shorter profile; these airlocks fit in the refrigerator much better than most other styles that add significant height. Great deal!

I'm thrilled to give these glass fermentation jugs a well-deserved five-star review. The functionality of the airlocks is impeccable, efficiently allowing gases to escape during fermentation while preventing any contaminants from entering. The bungs, when placed on dry jug necks, create a tight seal that ensures a secure and controlled environment for fermentation. The This attention to detail has significantly enhanced my mead-making process, giving me confidence that each batch will ferment undisturbed. Everything works seamlessly, from the reliable airlocks to the tight seal provided by the bungs, creating an ideal environment for fermentation. Whether you're a seasoned mead maker or just starting, these jugs are a reliable and essential tool that contributes to the success and consistency of the fermentation process. They've truly become an indispensable part of my brewing equipment, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to fellow mead makers.

Did the trick

I've ordered this brand before and have not been disappointed with their glass carboys. This was the first four pack I've ordered. They all arrived intact and everything else was included. I did order a separate multi pack of the larger 3-piece airlocks because they hold more liquid during primary fermentation which I feel is important when you have all the vigorous bubbling going on. For secondary I switch to the short ones because there isn't all the bubbling going on and bugs aren't so desperate trying to get in. The bungs fit and stay in place when you make sure the inside opening of the carboy is dry and the bung is dry. Making multiple batches of my favorite homemade wines was super quick and easy to do having these multiple carboys. They're nice thick sturdy glass, a great size and should be durable for ages. They're easier to clean with a long bottle brush that you can bend to shape to reach the inside curves of the carboys.

Nice glass gallon size jars with screw in lids. My only drawback is the little handle is a bit smaller than I desire, but that's my personal choice. I use these for storing my home made distilled water. I also bought a long bottle brush for cleaning. I do like that they came with fermenting lids as well since I do make vinegars and like the choice of having the lids for future use.

These are awesome little 1 gallon fermenters. The only thing that has a flaw would be the airlock should be what I change to an S airlock.. and the other thing, the bung plug with the gas pressure pushes out so you have to use zip ties to hold them in or else they’ll pop out that’s the only downside of the material. Besides that I give them 5 - out of - 5 so far as long as none of them crack.!

I Got these to use up the ungodly amount of blueberries we had to go through and decided to make mead. They are thick glass and not particularly worried about them breaking. The Cork had problems staying in but you can use a rubber band to prevent this. One of the plastic airlocks snapped when I was sanitizing. All I did was rinse it. I could of complained but its only a couple bucks to replace so i didn't bother since the rest of the product was good.

No lids as per pictures and also are ONLY 2 LITRE BOTTLES THESE ARE NOT 1 GALLON CARBOYS! Look elsewhere for a real gallon size bottle Will be fine for smaller size batches, but useless otherwise

Not good! They are not 1 gallon. They are half a gallon! No lids, buy somewhere else

It described wrong it does not hold a gallon its way smaller had to return.

It did not come with black lids as advertised. It's practically useless for storage.
