Light-wight, easy to handle and store, Better-bottle bottles have many advantages over glass carboys. Don't think of these carboys as plastic, think of them as flexible glass, only better, They are made from a special scientifically tesed PET, which doesn't have the disadvantages of other types of plastic. These plastic carboys are unbreakable, taste and odor free, impermeable to air and are clear and colorless. Their non-absorbing, non-porous surfaces are easy to clean and sanitize and do not carry over flavors from one batch to the next.
Big Blow Closure– This PET closure makes it possible to attach large-diameter, rigid pipe or tubing to Better-Bottle carboys for blowing off the thick foams that develop during primary fermentations of some beers and even some wines. Big Blow closures are 3/4" NPT. To make a blow off tube you need to purchase the pipe locally use the following threaded or solvent-weld pipe and fittings will make a rigid blow-off tube: a 90° street elbow with a 3/4" NPT male thread; a 6" nipple; a 90° elbow; and a 18" length of pipe, threaded on one end. Most hardware stores carry rigid PVC pipe that can withstand chlorine-based sanitizers. If you have access to polypropylene pipe, it is a better choice. Alternatively, a threaded 90° hose adapter can be used to connect to flexible tubing
(PIPE SOURCED FROM YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE)
Better Bottle Wide Mouth Funnel. A new 124 mm (4.88 inch), heavy-wall funnel for Better-Bottle carboys makes filling easier than ever. It is made of sturdy, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and fits snugly into the necks of the carboys, so there is no bubbling around the stem, during fast filling, and none of the slopping that occurs when funnels rock back and forth.
