Product details

The 6 Gallon PET Plastic Carboy is a lightweight, ultra-durable fermentation vessel designed specifically for secondary fermentation and long-term aging of homebrew beer and wine. When full, it weighs just 42 pounds, making it easy to carry and maneuver—even in tight brewing spaces. When empty, it’s light as a feather for effortless cleaning and storage.

Crafted from food-safe, BPA-free, DEHP-free, and plasticizer-free PET material, this plastic carboy is engineered for strength and ease of use. It’s scuff-resistant, shatterproof, and virtually unbreakable—ideal for homebrewers looking for a worry-free alternative to glass fermenters.

Unlike traditional plastic fermenters, PET carboys are **taste- and odor-free**, and they’re **virtually impermeable to oxygen**, protecting your beer or wine from oxidation during aging. The interior is **non-porous, non-absorbing, and hydrophobic (non-wetting)**, which means it won’t retain flavors or colors between batches and requires no brushes to clean—just rinse and sanitize.

Why choose the 6 Gallon PET Plastic Carboy?

  • Perfect for secondary fermentation or bulk aging
  • Odor-free and flavor-neutral
  • Extremely easy to clean and sanitize
  • Much lighter than glass with no risk of breakage
  • Made from BPA-free, DEHP-free food-grade PET plastic

Compatible with: #10 rubber stopper or Medium Universal Carboy Bung with airlock.

⚠ Not compatible with Better Bottle O-Ring closures.

⚠ Do not use hot liquids over 120°F (49°C) in PET carboys.

Price is good if you order for free ship

Both showed up dented/creased. One was dented and popped out but does pop back in, if pushed empty, the other is creased where it is perm dented. The shipping companies hire Gorillas. They really need to be double boxed or something. Can't blame N.B but NOT the first time my order has shown up without foresight of the Gorillas tossing them in their trucks.

As Expected

Shipping was prompt and the product is as described and as I expected. I had to contact one of their brewmasters for a separate product, and they were super quick in their response and resolution.

Nice smooth sides

We ordered two of these carboys because they have smooth sides. We got tired of the dead yeast flakes getting caught on the ridges of our former carboys during the final ferment. All is good now 🍷 🍷 🍷
