I got an email from a web visitor and mead maker. He has a variety of glass carboys including a 2 gallon carboy which is rather interesting and I think pretty rare! Anyway I asked him to send me some pictures and he did.
I really love the two gallon size. I think it is practically the perfect size for mead making. You can get about 8 bottles of wine out of this and if you are making a fruit mead you are still going to get quite a lot of mead. With a 1 gallon carboy you lose almost one bottle!
This 2 gallon carboy seems to be rather rare and if you have one, or if you have any information about them be sure to send me an email! I and the owner would love to hear about it.
Here is a picture of his carboys from left to right
- 5 or 6.5 gallon
- 3 gallon
- 2 gallon
- 1 gallon
Note: I got an email from a web visitor (Ken) who managed to find a source for 2.5 gallon glass carboys. Kind of neat, good looking carboys. My thanks to him for letting me know about these and here is a link to where you can buy them: 2.5 gallon glass carboys

5 Gallon Glass Carboy For Beer or Wine Making
- This is pretty much the standard for making a 5 gallon batch of mead. You should get around 20 bottles of mead from this size carboy.
