Homebrew Equipment Starter Kit – Carboy Upgrade

Description

This kit improves our standard kit by adding on a 6 gallon glass carboy, carboy cleaning brush, and carboy stopper.

Fermenting in glass adds peace of mind, because the glass surface does not scratch as easily as plastic buckets. When plastic buckets are scratched they can harbor bacteria & yeast that makes them difficult to completely sanitize. Glass is also less permeable to oxygen, making it more ideal for long term storage. Conversely, glass is also heavier than plastic, and requires caution when handling (especially when full of your precious homebrew!). For that, we recommend that you add-on a Carboy Carrier. Kettle in photo is not included.
