They're a regular carboy with a large opening. Makes cleaning a breeze. I will be purchasing a couple soon. I'm a little surprised this is a new thing.

I do want. I have been trying to figure out how to get the ring out of a better bottle that was left by a Belgian Strong that batch aged in there from April 6th till last weekend. May have to pitch that better bottle.
Even PBW wouldnt get it out. |

When I first saw them, my jaw dropped open. "How come nobody thought of that before?!"

The only time I had trouble cleaning a regular glass carboy was when I used gelatin to clear a few stubborn beers.

they'd be perfect for adding/removing fruit. I think I might pick one up for mead/cider making.

Put my first brew in mine last week. It is great!!!!
It was great after I cooled the wort, I just dumped it in the carboy from the brew pot! Which aerated the hell out of it, which is good. 
Juniper rye ale. Started bubbling away quickly(safale04) and now that is has stopped bubbling, I see the crap on the side of the glass and smile. That will be so easy to clean.

This is on my short list of things to own SOON! I've been using food grade plastic for a while now and these just look too damn handy to not have. The cleaning factor (and weight) is the main thing that kept me away from the glass carboys in the past

I'm going to order a couple soon as well. I've been fermenting in buckets for simplicity, but I hate the lids.
I am meticulous about cleaning/sanitizing, but I never feel completely kosher about the bucket lid being clean. Quoted:

Even PBW wouldnt get it out. Do you use hot water? I use heated water in the 130-150 degree range and haven't found anything that just a soak won't take off. |

Oh Yea, Used hot water w/ PBW but it was a belgian that had sat for 8+ months. I did eventually get the ring gone but wasnt as easy as soaking. |

Ive been eying these myself for fermenting veggies maybe. My brew buddy and I already have 7 15 gals, 12 5-6 gals and 25 1 gallon carboys so I cant justify buying this for booze

I've only used it on glass carboys though. I washed the hell out of it afterward, too. |

Juniper rye finished primary and I moved it to my regular 5 gal glass carboy. Then I cleaned my big mouth....... Then I ordered a 6.5gallon big mouth. Then I occurred my 6 gal plastic carboy to my friend.
I wish they made a 3 gallon one. I like doing 3 gallon batches. Not that I can't use the 5 gal bmb for that. But if love a 3 galling bmb. |

I just got my 6.5 gallon delivered by UPS. I like how the 6.5 gallon is not much taller. Mostly fatter.
So now my vessels are: 5 gal BMB 6.5 gal BMB 5 gal glass carboy 3 gal glass carboy 6 gal plastic carboy several 1 gal glass carboys That should set me for a while.

Can't believe I didn't see this thread, and made my own thread.
This thread isn't helping me resist the urge to buy one. I had almost talked myself out of buying one. I just like the idea of glass so much more than a bucket. Partly because of sanitation, partly because I just want to see my beer fermenting when I open the cooler to look at it. |

I've got a 6.5 gallon. Brewed with it for the first time last weekend. So far, I have been impressed. The only caveat I have is, is that it is so big in diameter, a brew hauler will not fit it, making it a little cumbersome to move around.

Can you measure the diameter or circumference of it? I think I have a crate it will fit in. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The plastic ones are awesome. The punted bottom holds the auto siphon perfectly.
