Have been looking for one or more of these myself, not the easiest thing to get without importing from USA.

6 US Gallons = 5 real gallons... is that what you mean?

Post by: Damien M on October 09, 2013, 03:42:02 PM

Ideally the from where is: The closer the better!!

So I have send a query to an Irish supplier to see what comes out of it and requested a combined Carboy and carrying handle price.

So, to that end and not intending to stand on toes let a list commence

1. Damun 2

I would be interested too at that price alealex. I have one question though, looking at both those pictures i am wondering how airtight is that twist on lid and that setup for installing the blow off tube ? Even a mini group but would be nice on this. Cheers. ;D

Post by: alealex on October 10, 2013, 11:10:30 PM

Just to give you an idea what it looks like. 34 litre one with wide neck (130mm) €35-37 + delivery, comes with airtight cap and plastic bin. Thats the biggest of wide necks.

Title: Re: 6 Gallon Primary Fermentor Glass Carboys
Post by: alealex on October 10, 2013, 11:17:26 PM

Here is the biggest of all. 54litre carboy at the price of €27-30 + shipping (Yes cheaper than 34litre wide neck) comes with bin.

It's designed to be airtight and lid has a silicone seal. The lid itself is an airlock just fill midle part with water. This is like massive jar and comes with harness.
To be honest 54litre one is to big for my needs anyway. will go with the flow cos any of the wide neck is good with me.
We'll see what interest does it gain.

Title: Re: 6 Gallon Primary Fermentor Glass Carboys
Post by: Greg2013 on October 10, 2013, 11:32:48 PM

Yes the 54 litre is way too big for my needs as well but definitely interested in the smaller of the two.

Title: Re: 6 Gallon Primary Fermentor Glass Carboys
Post by: Damien M on October 11, 2013, 09:45:07 AM

50 euros ( budget) per vessel seems fair for Vessel, airlock and carrying system. I'm in for 2. I started a list . down this post but I'll start it again

1. Damun 2 34 ltr

Are we definitely talking about only getting the 34 litre ? The 25lt is more appealing to me tbh, i would put my name down for two of those.

Alex,
I'd be interested in the following:

This is an expressions of interest list, and added yer requests ,

If we see how many we want and get a combined shipping cost. We can then divide the shipping by the number of vessels and each member pays their fraction per vessel of shipping and each vessel is an equal fraction of the shipping regardless of size!!! OK??

Good idea Eoin, can mods move it to where it should be - GB section.
Seems like it can only be sent on the pallet(s) because 54 litre ones are bit problematic..

Guys,

Brian from HomeBrewWest offered help on this one. As shipping of the product is lets say 'delicate', carboys are taking lots of space but weight is little, it has to be shipped on pallets. Price per item may be around €15-20 :( but I'm still working to get it down to €10-15 :)
Brouwland, via HBW offers:

~25 litre wide neck

http://www.brouwland.com/setframes/?l=&to=http%3A//www.brouwland.com/shop/catproducts.asp%3Fcfid%3D4%26id%3D456%26pid%3D455&shwlnk=0

~54 litre normal opening

http://www.brouwland.com/setframes/?l=&to=http%3A//www.brouwland.com/shop/catproducts.asp%3Fcfid%3D4%26id%3D456%26pid%3D455&shwlnk=0

~34 litre wide neck is not on Brouwland offer, but has 34 normal opening.

As you can see 34l and 25l are not exactly what we were aiming for but 54l is very same.
Brian is asking for prompt reply as his Brouland order is ready to go. It's a group buy so I think is fair to give group answer.
I think it's very best offer for at least 54 litre ones regarding price and shipping.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to leave anybody out but courier companies are taking it as not insured product (means if it makes the trip you have it if doesn't we're sorry, no money back). Thats only my opinion on this subject.
Please tell us what you think, keep in mind Brian has limited time to add this to his order.

Cheers, Alex.

Post by: Taf on October 24, 2013, 06:07:09 AM

I'm really after the 34 in the wideneck, as want easy access, and 25 litre is too small and 54 too big, so don't really fancy the brouland offerings personally, although others might.

Cheers to Brian yet again. Only thing i seem to remember the original ones were only around 25 euro for the 25 litre and the Brouwland ones are double that at 45 euro aprox. That's a big jump in price for me. Am i miscalculating or is that right ?

Just to give you an idea what it looks like. 34 litre one with wide neck (130mm) €35-37 + delivery, comes with airtight cap and plastic bin. Thats the biggest of wide necks.

This is the one I am interested in, for that price but if it's going to escalate and/or can't get the wide neck then I will not be interested in it. I'm also not happy with the risk of getting nothing but shattered glass :-\

I got the 250 NHC drinking glasses, which are quite fragile, delivered on a pallet from England, and not one was broken!

Theres quite a difference between 54 litre carboy and 250ml glass. There's also price difference and I wonder if it's worth to take a chance :-\

Title: Re: 6 Gallon Primary Fermentor Glass Carboys
Post by: alealex on October 30, 2013, 03:11:18 PM

None of the courier companies want to deliver 54 litre carboys :(
34 litre ones can be delivered to the door for the price of €20
Good news on the 25 litre ones, two of them can be delivered to the door for €20
DPD takes no responsibility for any glass products in the parcells but seller says he's sending few hundreds carboys in the season with hardly any complaints :-\ in other words packed well with double layers of bubble wrap, etc, etc
Any thoughts on this one?

Title: Re: 6 Gallon Primary Fermentor Glass Carboys
Post by: acaoshes on October 30, 2013, 03:30:36 PM

I'm willing to proceed on the basis that the carboys are well wrapped and understand the liability (and shipping) is mine.
Barring further clarification maybe everyone can make up their minds on their risk appetite?
Maybe those who wish to withdraw can delete their names from this list and the remainder are those willing to proceed?

Title: Re: 6 Gallon Primary Fermentor Glass Carboys
Post by: Saruman (Reuben Gray) on October 30, 2013, 03:36:10 PM

I'll withdraw sorry. Also thinking about the space in storing another carboy in the tiny house I have. Perhaps in the future....

Considering the price on the shipping, I would like to change to 2 x 25 litre, as probably just as practical, as will probably ferment in something else, and just bulk age in these. Can someone else update the list for me please?

Does Eoin or Lordarpad wish to change their orders wrt 54L carboys? as the delivery companies won't deliver them.
Any other changes by anybody else? Not meaning to be pushy but looking forward to getting my carboys.

I've no time, money and patience for all this phone calls, it's a shame but it all stops at the shipping insurance point.
I personally don't fancy getting shattered carboy :'( or rather don't fancy chancing it without insurance.
Seller says theres very few accidents regarding glass carboys but no courier company wants to insure this product on international routes.
Don't know what to do :-\

Title: Re: 6 Gallon Primary Fermentor Glass Carboys
Post by: acaoshes on November 29, 2013, 04:41:32 PM

Thanks for efforts also. Can only suggest that everyone who wants to proceed does so on the firm understanding that shipment is not insured.

After that the outcome has nothing to do with you Alex.

Thanks for all your effort alex regarding this possible group buy of carboys. I agree with your point of view regarding the issue of shipping insurance. I see you mentioned that they are coming from Cracow in Poland. Maybe someone here might know a driver or transport company who regularly make trips between Poland and Ireland who may be able to help in this situation? Just a thought. Again really appreciate all the effort you put in up to this point in time.

Here's what I'm planning to do:
I'll order 34litre one and I'll ship it with dpd (no glass insured).
Fingers crossed it'll come in one piece. Will report back what is the package like etc.
If I'm happy with this we can push this gb to it's conclusion. I'm going to order another 2x25litre ones on gb as per list.
If it comes in bits I'll defo regret it greatly :'( but I can't see any other way to push this gb thru to it's end
Lets wish this carboy safe journey!! ;D

Feck it, I'll take the risk. Have a feeling is not a wise decision to courier it, there must be a reason why brouwland doesn't courier 34 or 54 litre carboys, seems like courier companies are not great enthusiasts of this idea neither.

I think it is only fair if everyone on the list insures Alex's test buy including delivery. It is a test for our group buy so Alex shouldn't take the total hit should things go wrong. It only a small amount if spread among us all.

Why don't you just order more than you need, if you get no damages result! and they can be sold on, if you do get damages nobody looses out and you should still have enough.
The transport and handling will be totally different for 1 vs a pallet of them which should be better.

Pallet of them probably would be a safer bet actually ;)

Ordered this morn, it will be on its way tomorrow morning, should get it by friday/monday.
Just wanted to speed things up a bit, hate waiting forever.
I agree pallet would be a safer option but I'm not really sure if it's still cheaper :-\
2x25litre in one parcel @ €29.16 inc vat is cheap and delivered to the door - €14.58 each
We'll get back to it by the end of the week.
By the way 34 litre one was €31.25 @ 1EUR=4.16PLN

Sure I agree, but I think there are a lot of variables that cannot be controlled from our end. Like, how well these items are packed and also how much care the shipping company takes with such 'fragile items'? I suppose if the homebrew shops can get them delivered in one piece, there's no reason why we can't either.

One can only imagine that the glass companies themselves are well aware of whats needed to make sure the glass gets to hwere its being sent in good condition. The main issue seems to be finding the producers of the carboys. Although I've found the large 54L round type ones I can't seem to find the producers of the 23L straight ones as you see them online.
