I bought several of these with the intention of using them only to transport grape juice, but they are so darn easy to work with that I ended up using some of them for fermentation too. They are very lightweight. They can be crumpled or deformed if you treat them harshly, but if you're reasonably careful they will be more than strong enough to transport or hold whatever liquid you put in them. My only word of caution is regarding the width of the mouth and the right size stopper. The ones desertcart suggests to go with these do NOT fit. They are too small. You'll want #10 stoppers. I ordered the "Drilled Rubber Stopper #10 Set of 3" from Home Brew Ohio and they fit perfectly. One other thing to note is that because the plastic sides bend and deform, you will not be able to use any type of vacuum pump with these. I tried using a vacuum pump to degas CO2 and didn't get very far. The side walls began to squeeze inward and I almost sucked wine into the pump. Review: Light weight but not flimsy - Let's face it, glass is heavy, even when empty. These make excellent secondary fermenters. No noticeable scent or taste of plastic in the final product. They clean up easy with a little water pressure/jet nozzle and accommodate siphon and silicone line with ease. Will buy again when needed. ## Features - [WHAT’S INCLUDED] With this purchase, you’ll receive a clear PET 5 gallon carboy.

These make excellent secondary fermenters. No noticeable scent or taste of plastic in the final product.

I was a little leery about using plastic but needed and additional carboy and it worked perfectly. It did have a larger top opening so had to purchase larger bung. It does dent easly when not full. Good value for the cost. ## Frequently Bought Together - FastRack 5 Gallon PET Carboy | Clear 5 Gallon Fermenter | Food Grade – BPA Free, Leak-Proof for fermentation, storage and brewing | Large Plastic Carboy for Home Brewing, Wine and Beer - 1 Pack - Twin Bubble Airlock and Carboy Bung (Pack of 2) - RiteBrew Rubber Stopper - Size 10 - Drilled --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/30720638-5-gallon-carboy-pet-clear-plastic-fermenter-and-fermentation-jar](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/30720638-5-gallon-carboy-pet-clear-plastic-fermenter-and-fermentation-jar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
