Does anyone know why it isn't recommended for glass carboys?

Works just fine with my 6 gallon glass carboy. Recomend a thermometer as it can get warm if the ambient temps get above 68.

I've never found out if this was true or myth. It's said that the unregulated heat can cause the glass to crack. Others have said that the 60hz humming of the heater could cause the glass to crack. I've decided to not find a floor full of juice and gotten myself a thermostat. Plus... with a thermostat you won't over heat your must. :)

Hi I use a 5 gallon glass carboy and I use what ever the sites say to use but I make custom wine like blueberry and pomegranate wines so its all up to how you want to go .. Hope this helps ^_^

No. They are sized for small carboys. I ended up using them for my gallon size carboys.

I think it depends on what kind of glass it is. Something like pyrex would be OK, but fragile glass - maybe not so much.

Good question. Unfortunately, I have a gas stove. I'm unfamiliar with requirements of glass top stoves.

This carboy is NOT glass. It is plastic but made specifically for beer brewing. I had a glass carboy that I dropped and shattered into a billion pieces. This one is much safer, easier to handle, and I have fermented in it for over a year with good results.

You are correct. I have a plastic carboy and this one is too small which leads me to believe that this would be considered a medium. You could make this work but you stand the chance of it falling into the carboy. On the safe side, go bigger.

I don't see why not, but I've never had a problem with the plastic container. Plus, you'd have to find a glass one that fit just right inside the heating chamber.

Not smooth. Circular ridges on the bottom. Canning is generally not ideally performed on glass top ranges since some heat transfer is lost when not in full contact with range.However I do use this canner on a flat electric (metal) range. The smaller pint size may work on glass top, but just remember that heat loss will usually require more time to bring to (& maintain) boil.

Works with Primo 5 gallon jug so yes I would think so. Haven't tried Carboy.

Are you talking about in the air-lock or in your carboy? I you are talking about in the carboy both are okay, but after the first day or two you should have a lot of little bubbles. If you do not then you should check the temp of the area it might be to low.

It would be difficult to divide all the additives exactly in half. Everything is premeasured for a 6 gallon carboy.

Some beer brewing supply houses might have an adapter to fit a standard regulator to paint ball bottle? Good luck!

Will not work with glass beer bottle, the thread is too large. I did find some glass bottles in the pantry that would work, a glass bottle for vinegar. Kind of annoying since reusing plastic water bottles is not a good idea especially if they are outside or exposed to the sun due to material breakdown.

Wow!! Good question! I don't know but I can tell you that I can empty my 6 gallon glass carboy in minutes while tilted at 90 degrees and the funnel oes a goojob about the back splash and it takes it. Sorry.

I used this in a glass 5 gallon water bottle the kind you can refill in the grocery store. We have a lindyspring water filling store that also sells real mountain valley spring water in glass jugs with deposit on the jugs which was cheaper than actually buying glass carboys. Looks like inside diameter is 1 1/2 inches, outside slightly over 2".

I would say they are small and stingy. It's one of the things we don't like about ours. I think you are only supposed to use the plastic bottles they give you, and I would NOT put it directly into glass, because I think the pressure could break the glass.
