North Mountain Supply 1 Gallon Glass Fermenting Jug with Handle, 6.5 Rubber Stopper, 2-Piece Airlock, Black Plastic Lid - Set of 4

I'm thrilled to give these glass fermentation jugs a well-deserved five-star review. The functionality of the airlocks is impeccable, efficiently allowing gases to escape during fermentation while preventing any contaminants from entering. The bungs, when placed on dry jug necks, create a tight seal that ensures a secure and controlled environment for fermentation. The This attention to detail has significantly enhanced my mead-making process, giving me confidence that each batch will ferment undisturbed.Everything works seamlessly, from the reliable airlocks to the tight seal provided by the bungs, creating an ideal environment for fermentation. Whether you're a seasoned mead maker or just starting, these jugs are a reliable and essential tool that contributes to the success and consistency of the fermentation process. They've truly become an indispensable part of my brewing equipment, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to fellow mead makers.

After buying another brand originally that came with the tops cracked on both I purchased these and wow what a difference twice as thick as the other brand and zero shipping damage.

I've been using these mostly for secondary fermentation of mead and cider. There's not much that you could do in making a jug to make that better or worse, but these are definitely a good value for getting them delivered to your doorstep. The airlock stopper can be hard to keep stuck into the jug if you try and put it in while things are wet, but after drying both the jug's neck and the stopper it has worked well. They're nice and sturdy; compared to an empty Carlo Rossi jug, these are clearly much thicker and better quality. I've pasteurized fresh pressed apple juice in them by putting a full bottle in a stock pot filled with boiling water (if you do this, make sure you have a trivet or something to raise the bottle off the bottom of the pot). Was able to get the juice up to temperature and then cap it with the included non-airlock caps. The neck of these jugs is also wide enough to fit the oak cubes that North Mountain Supply sells, so you can age your ferments on oak quite easily.

The carboys and airlocks are good and work perfectly but I had to use old rubber stoppers because the ones supplied keep sliding out and unsealing the material is too slick to stay pushed in place. you may need to buy different stoppers that work better and stay sealed.

These drugs are amazing they work great especially for the price came exactly as described very thick easy to use cleaning's great storage is perfect and the size is one gallon very easy to use

Best one gallon jugs I've used for the price, but the jugs are on the heavier side. Not particularly easy to clean but that is expected. Be careful with fruit meads as these bubble over pretty easy.

Order arrived complete and as expected 4 glass carboys which in this particular order came with accessories such as bungs and airlocks. One item of the lot had a defect I was uncomfortable with and North Mountain reached out in short order (same week) and offered to ship a replacement vessel. This is as five star as an experience gets as a new winemaker. North Mountain offers good value equipment and a valid warranty and so my future purchases in this hobby will be with them. Knowing items are under warranty yields brand loyalty with me as the glass they source and ship is covered. There are a lot of vendors for items in this hobby, North Mountain offers fine equipment and they actually stand by their warranty as other reviews had indicated. These guys are worth the money
