Unfortunately, the 3 gallons volume is to the very top lip of jug. Could ferment maybe a 2 gallon batch, but still get lots of overflow when the wort is really churning. Probably only useful as a secondary and then only for 11 quarts or less.Hard to clean the square corners, especially at the top.Was this review helpful?

Yes (4) No (0) Flag as Inappropriate Good but not greatPurchased 3 gallon better bottle to get away from fermenting in plastic buckets. I am brewing 2.5 gallon batches normally. Have used it once and it worked well. If I get another I will definitely buy the ported version. I bought this one and drilled a port in it (I purchased the racking tube and spigot separately) and adding the port was a painfully delicate process. Cleaning was okay with PBW but I still felt like there was residue from the krausen so I GENTLY cleaned with a carboy brush. The fact that every single accessory is sold separately is annoying. The best advantage of these to me is the ability to rack without siphoning. That worked spectacularly.Was this review helpful?

A shopper on Feb 15, 2018 BEST ANSWER: Ask the manufacturer to be sure, but 140F is a good general rule for "plastic" carboys. I never transfer any wort into a carboy/fermenter until it's close to pitching temperature (<85F) so this is not an issue for me. I have my hot water heater set at 120F max. After kegging, I put a tablespoon of Oxyclean in the carboy and then and then fill it to overflowing with hot water. I let it soak overnight and the gunk rinses out with cold water the next day; no scrubbing or effort.
