North Mountain Supply3 Gallon Premium Italian Glass Carboy Fermenting Jug - with Drilled & Undrilled Rubber Stoppers and 6-Bubble Airlock

Perfect for making wine. Good quality

Quality glassware. It met my expectations . Very functional.

3 gallons is big…. I make weekend trips to a dairy farm, storing milk in this container is great. Planning to order another as a gift. Needs a handle contraption. However no actual complaints … I love it.

First impressions were that the price was quite a hike up from their 1 gallon carboys, but I've bought quality glassware for chemistry purposes and am used to larger sets having similar hikes in price.When it came in the mail it had a crack in the bottom of the carboy that I can't trust to not get worse under pressure of gas from fermentation. But additionally, the mouth of the carboy is just ever so slightly too wide. If it wasn't for the fact that I needed this carboy to actually do some seconday fermentation it'd be lightly comical that every rubber stopper or rubber stopper with a hole for the airlock, including the two that came with this carboy, can't be inserted tightly enough to form an airtight seal. I can pass air through with my mouth. I'm too afraid to push it in past flush with the top of the carboy as then I would have no way of prying it back out without drilling into it with a powerdrill or something.I normally like North Mountain Supply products, typically they're great. This one isn't and kind of soured my opinion of their products as a whole if this somehow passed their QA. Apparently the cracks are a common issue if you read through the reviews of others too.I will probably try to return this, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's non-refundable...

I have previously purchased the "Italian Glass" carboys from "North Mountain" and never had an issue. Always good quality bottles. This time I received a DEFECTIVE carboy with crack at the bottom, which was, most likely, made in China. There are too many defective glass bottles on the market these days, and this apparently, was packed and shipped from an Amazon warehouse in the "North Mountain" box. I ordered some of the cheaper bottles few weeks earlier from Geo Sports, and they all arrived with similar cracks and scratches at their bottoms. So, I returned those and decided to go with the 3 times more expensive "proved" quality which "North Mountain" has always been, and received the defective stuff which looked the same as the cheap one. This is just unbelievable!Update from November 3: After receiving the defective bottle, I called customer service and requested a replacement. They apologised and said they’d take care of me and I would not be disappointed. Today I received a replacement. Same stuff!!! With deep scratch at the bottom! I cannot trust Amazon anymore!

I have ordered several of these for brewing mead. I have returned most of them for being cracked on the bottom. Kept one just to hold dry goods that don’t have to be airtight. Not worth the money at all.

When I received this I took the time to check it over and there where no cracks I could see. I cleaned andsanitized the bottle taking care not to ding it in any way. Put the ingredients for the wine I was makinginto it, put the bung and airlock in place and left it under one of my desks in a plastic dish tub to ferment.When it was done and had cleared out I racked to another container then proceded to clean the bottle andit is when I felt the crack on the bottom. I cant return it now it's to late so there goes 70+ dollars down thedrain because I dont trust it to not completely break during another ferment.

I bought one of these and it had a crack on the bottom. I sent it back for a replacement. The replacement had the same crack.
