Will it work with a 5 gallon glass carboy?

Works with Primo 5 gallon jug so yes I would think so. Haven't tried Carboy.

The 5 gallon water will be too big to hold for the porcelain water vessel. the 3 gallon is just perfect.

Yes, we have also used it with 5 oz glass bottles (specifically Dr Browns). It's a little trickier because the warmer is larger than they are, so you have to wedge them into the warmer a little higher than the larger bottles but it absolutely works just as well in our experience.

I don't know. I've never used a 5 gal glass bottle. The bottle needs two things. A 55 mm neck and a lip on the neck. If the lip isn't there I don't see how it would work.

I can't answer that it will fit. We measured the spigot on our crock and ordered it by the measurements. Our crock is a 4 gallon. Hope this helps. Martha in Tennessee

I've used a Brew Belt on a glass carboy for over six months, and have not had any negative issues. I have no idea why you can not use it on a glass carboy.

It works just fine on my 6 gal glass carboy . I place it nearer to the bottom of the carboy where the glass is not ridged and it hugs the carboy better and it works great at keeping the temp constant when the winery (garage !! :-0 ) gets colder.

I think it fits any 5 gal. I use a combination of pure life or Poland spring 5 gal. Unit works great.

I'm not sure. We only use the 5 gallon plastic but if the opening is the same diameter I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I tried to use this larger auto-siphon with a one gallon carboy and it did not work. I have my one gallon carboy filled to the bottom of the neck to minimize oxidation, and using this siphon caused the carboy to overflow. I ended up just using tubing without a siphon to rack my carboy. I haven't tried to use this siphon with a carboy that is filled less full.

It definitley fits the 5 gallon so pls look at the size of the 5 gallon spout and if it the same size as the 3 gallon spout it should fit but u might also want to measure the depth which is the more important but if too long u can always cut it shorter to fit

There not made for that there made for carboys but I've used them for mason jars in the past when I didn't have five gallon carboys. You will need to purchase a drill bit and drill a hole in your metal lid big enough to fit your rubber stopper but not to big so it falls through hope that helps!

I have one of the old style waterers & replaced a cracked bottle with a household bottle but it was 3 gal size not 5 gallon, it has worked fine

By the look of the 5 gallon can in the picture it won't fit. The siphon is designed to screw into a 55 gal drum not screw "on" like a cap.

Yes there is a five gallon version. In the search box on Amazon type in 5 gallon glass carboy. It should come up.

I use 3 gallon bottles (smaller version of the standard 5) and they work fine. 1 gallon should work as well.

I have not tried glass bottles, but I would think so. There's some wiggle room after I put in the plastic 5 gallon bottle.

I don't know about glass but 5 gal plasitic works fine and as long as the glass is the same height as the plastic ,I do not see why not. If any taller or wider, glass may not work. So far, I like this unit. Had a Primo and the plastic tubes broke and got messed up. Tubes are metal in the Viapur.
