Collection: Glass Carboys, Buckets, Lids

Carboys and buckets are essential tools in the fermentation process of homebrewing, each offering distinct advantages for managing and monitoring the fermentation of beer. Carboys, typically made of glass or plastic, provide a clear view of the fermentation activity and allow for easy observation of the brew's progress. Their narrow neck and wide body facilitate a controlled fermentation environment while minimizing exposure to oxygen, which helps prevent contamination and oxidation. On the other hand, fermentation buckets are generally made of food-grade plastic and feature a large capacity with a secure lid, making them ideal for larger batches and easy to handle. They often come with a built-in bung, for an airlock, allowing gases to escape while preventing external contaminants from entering. Both carboys and buckets are designed to support the yeast's fermentation activity by maintaining a stable environment and protecting the beer from light and air, ultimately ensuring a successful fermentation and a high-quality finished product.
