3-Gallon Glass Carboy
The small one. For half-batches, top-ups, and second-stage racking.
≈ $35–$38price range
Smaller than the 6-gallon, but earns its keep. Perfect for splitting a batch in half to try two different oak treatments, for racking down when you've lost some volume to lees, or for making a quick small batch to test a new juice.
Russ uses his almost as much as the big one. Highly recommended even if you think you won't need it on day one.
