Is the Carboy 6.5 gallons or smaller?

I believe it is 5+, not 6.5. however, I am not entirely sure. I do know that the batch I made was for 5 gallons and that it worked well for that. They may have been room for more, but not sure how much more. That's the best I can do for now.

The glass carboy is around 5 gallons to reduce the head space during secondary fermentation. My 5 gallons batches usually fill it to within about 2 inches of the top. The plastic pail is around 6 gallons to allow for foaming during vigorous fermentation.

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.

The paperwork says it holds six (6) gallons. I have not had the oportunity to try it yet but compared to my six gallon plastic cans, it looks about right. It looks pretty well made.

The tank is 6.6 gallons, a pretty decent size and it doesn't have a large 'footprint' (meaning it doesn't stick out far from the wall or whatever you put it against).

I never measured it, but I am thinking it is a 5 gallon. My husband has used it with various kits and has not run into any "space" problems.

It makes 6 gallons but you can use it for 5 gallons kits too. In fact if you want a higher ABV. Use the 6 gallon kit but only top it off with water to 5 gallon mark

This will fit either the 5.0 gallon as well as the 6.5 gallon carboys. Happy brewing

I bought them for a 5gallon but I'm guessing that other carboys might have the same size opening.

Yes there is a five gallon version. In the search box on Amazon type in 5 gallon glass carboy. It should come up.

There aren't any markings, but since I use mine as a secondary fermenter this hasn't been an issue. I've also noticed that it has slightly less volume than my old glass carboy. When full to within one inch of the airlock it makes 29 750ml bottles. My old glass carboy made a full 30 bottles. However, I'll take the light weight and greater portability any day.

my bung has a number 10 on it, it measures 1.75 inches on the bottom which goes onto the carboy

Well the picture shows it in a 6 gallon Carboy bottle. I think it may be 5 inches maybe 6. It may work for that.

Package contains 2 twin bubble airlocks and 2 universal carboy bungs that will fit 3, 5, 6 and 6.5 gallon glass carboys.

Not all of the chemicals, depending on the process you use. The carboy is 6 gal which is an odd size most recipes are for 5 gal. The corker is a hand held which needs short corks, which are known to not last as long as the standard longer corks.

This particular item is about 16.1 gallon. You add enough water to make a 6 gallon batch. if you only have a 3 gallon carboy, use 8.5 gallon must, add water to the carboy(give allowance for frothing during fermentation) and add 1/2 of the yeast and other additives during the following steps. Be sure to refrigerate your remaining must. I would find it difficult to have only 1 carboy, where do you plan to transfer it to for the secondary fermentation(which you do after discarding the lees). So your option is get another carboy(and you have at least a week to think about after you start your primary fermentation) or better still get another carboy to start fermentation on the remaining batch. A better option is to get 2 six gallon carboys, this way you can brew your wine confidently with less chance of spoilage of a remaining must.

I think that actual liquid capacity is 5 gallons. I noticed that with 5 gallons, it leaves just enough air space for all of the foam from a fairly active fermentation.

Approx the same. It is about ads tall as the lid. Also you can biol up to 5 gallons in it.
