Do you still only recommend a 3 gallon glass jug on top ? Not a 5 gallon ???

I'm not sure if I understand the question. I use this 2.5 gallon jug for kombucha tea and it is a great size for me.

That may be a little too much head room for a 1 gallon batch. I've been a big fan of brewing that small but it's been rough finding stuff to work with that size. The spigot, though is actually bit closer to the ground than I was expecting so you're actually still likely to wind up with trub around the valve. Not too big of a deal, but you'll want to let the first few ounces flush out before bottling.

Depends on which jug you purchase. I tend to buy the largest container which is cheaper per ounce and use a garden sprayer for application. However, I believe you can purchase the jug with the hose end sprayer attached. I don't find it convenient when doing my roof though.

I always go with the standard and use 1.5 to 2 ozs. per gallon. Works for me!

I used a plastic 5 gallon bottle at first but I now use a 3 gallon. 5 gallon was too big and heavy for this machine.

I use separate container for storing - about 5Gal will do (I use Staniles Steal milk can :))

I do not think it would hold up on a 3.5 gal. particularly if its a round unit

No, while not pictured; A 5 gallon jug sits on top like a regular water cooler. I was disappointed by that not being clear.

Don..Yes it is. The last time I used it was the summer so the exact numbers slip my mind. However I am pretty sure this jug will make over 50 gallons.It has a thingie for measuring so no worries. Disolves fast. And man o man does it work. If you are used to buying the plain Roundup at Home Depot you will be pleasantly surprised. Just think of it..one buys a gallon or so for 20 bucks from there...or $80 or so online for 50+ gallons.

Hello, i either use a 3 gallon glas container or a 5 gallon plastic container. I think the stand will support the gallon glas container but I'm not sure. Lifting 5 gallon glas would be heavy for me.

I'm not sure. I use 5 gallon jugs. But I would think that 3 would work if it has same opening but just a smaller size.

Greetings Crystal:Yes, the Goldwell 3 step metal stand should be able to withstand a 5 gallon "glass" bottle. I placed my water crock along with my full 5 gallon BPA free water bottle on top and 2 more 5 gallon filled bottles underneath it and so far, no problems at all. So that's over 15+ gallons of water already on the stand. I've had this stand since February 2013 from Amazon. The stand itself is very sturdy, has a glossy finish and the design looks great. The only tiny issue I had was assembling the last screw in the middle, it was pretty tough. Other than that, the instruction was very easy to follow. I hope this helps you in deciding. Have a good weekend. Greetings Crystal:Yes, the Goldwell 3 step metal stand should be able to withstand a 5 gallon "glass" bottle.

Yes I am using it on primo 5 gallon jugs. It will work on the 3 gal also. I have 2 now. One for work and one at home.

I have always tried to go a little more then their recommendations. So in your case i would do 3oz per gallon to err on the side of more is better. I have been told that I overdo it some times, but hey it works and I havn't hurt anyone yet so...

I use the 3 gallon bottles, mainly because they are easier for me to handle, but the unit is sturdy enough, I think it would handle the 5 gallon just fine.

Yes ... we use a 3 gallon bottle, but the same container fits both 3 & 5 gallon

No. These are for the big 5 gallon jugs. Might fit the smaller 3 gallon ones.
