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'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.

great for HOT sauce

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.

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.

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.

1st time use. Worked right away. I just wedged it as tight as I could which really isn’t too hard as I don’t have a lot of hand strength. Started bubbling with a couple of hours and picked up bubbling speed over time. I plan to wash by hand and towel and air dry. Very pleased as a this is my first ever project. Thanks to those who posted videos. Very helpful. Does not come with instructions and I wasn’t sure if the yellow cap should be on. Videos helped.
