1 gallon glass containers

Can you guys tell me what grocery store product is packaged in a I gallon glass jug suitable for a bung/ airlock? The brew shop gets $4.95 for 1 gallon jugs! It would be cheaper to by some juice, pour it out and re-cycle the glass container! I'm not cheap, just frugal!

i think the shipping on glass jugs (fragile and heavy) would end up making them cost more than just buying the more expensive ones you can find at your local brew store...

Schnucks right off Hwy 94 in St. Charles carries Hardin brand apple cider in
1 gallon glass jugs as least they had it in stock last fall, each year I buy a few jugs drink the cider and .......

The online catalog is abbreviated. I don't think Dan wants to ship glass. I picked mine up on the way thru Cincinatti on vacation.

I've looked for the opportunity to purchase juices in gallon glass jugs and they just don't exist around here anymore.

I picked up 4 brown glass jugs at www.listermann.com in Cincinatti for about $2.00 each.

I buy apple juice in 1-gallon glass jugs at Trader Joes, make wine out of the juice and use the jug as a fermenter (an 8 1/2 bung fits this particular jug). They sell two kinds: "unfiltered" for about $4 and
"gravenstein" for about $4.60. These are regular items that are available year-round. I've made wine from each and prefer the gravenstein.

i myself could not find any items any longer in gallon jugs . but while eating as a local resturant i saw them tilting a gallon jug behind the bar .. now i am working on a supply . any chance you are close to hartford ct ?

I can't find anything like what you need, and I have looked, for the same reason. If you live near a college, ask the manager of their foodservice operation for bottles. Or local restaurants or bars, maybe. I have just ordered some 1 gal collapsible LDPE water jugs to try for secondaries. I'm new to wine so may not notice any off-flavors due to the plastic, but if I'm racking off several times before I bottle, it gets plenty of air already. And at $1.29 each, why not try one? I agree, bottling and aging should be glass.

people say .. "plastic is safe" but leave a water bottle in your car in the summer for a couple days then drink it ..not the best water .and now they have studdies about stuff leaching out of the plastic and possibly being harmful
. so that being said i would say something as sensitive as wine i would not put in plastic beyond the early pri.i juggle my glass carboy and some plastic just to transfer and clean out the carboy then back in .

Yeah I agree with that I am not a big fan of plastic no matter what they say about it. Primary is one thing but even then you need to have the correct stuff to keep it safe.

Yep agree completely... plastic is evil stuff for long term wine storage. Last year I tried out an "ullage preventer" in one of my barrels. Apparently all made from food grade plastic blahblah. Within a few months I could taste the plastic in the wine... and it was a reasonably big shiraz... would hate to see how a wooded chardy would taste using one of those!

the oak might hide it ..but in a pinot grigio i think it would more noticed any who yuck

With all the effort it takes to turn out something wonderful what a kick in the ass it is to taste something weird in it. No even mentioning that some of that stuff is really bad for you!
