Better-Bottles
Ultra Light PET Carboys


Ported Better Bottle


Plain Better Bottle

Don't think of Better-Bottle carboys as plastic – think of them as flexible glass, because they are made from a special, scientifically tested, type of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which does not have the disadvantages that make other plastics unacceptable for making wine or brewing beer.

Flexible Glass – Unbreakable • Negligible oxygen permeability • Meets FDA requirements with Kosher statement • No taste or odor • Clear and colorless • Extremely stain resistant • Smooth, non-porous, non-absorbing, hydrophobic surface.
Designed for Convenience – Extremely light weight and easy to handle – only ~1.5 lbs [~0.68 Kg] empty • Inexpensive to ship – extra packaging and insurance are unnecessary • Wide, uniform (injection molded) neck – filling is much more convenient and closures fit more reliably • Easily cleaned (flavors rinse away quickly) and sanitized • Easy to store, because they are light weight and unbreakable • Available with Racking Adapters quick-disconnect High-Flow valves – there is no need for siphons and oxygen-free racking is simple.

Dry-Trap Fermentation Lock for Better-Bottles
Can't go dry!
The precision check valve in this fermentation lock don't use water, so they never go dry, and there is nothing to suck back into your brew or wine.
Qty: Price: $14.90
Racking Adapter for Better Bottles
The Better-Bottle Racking Adapter couples the High-Flow valve to any ported Better-Bottle carboy, and the combination makes professional racking and bottling quick and easy.

The Racking Adapter uses a Teflon-encapsulated Viton O-ring to make an hydrophobic seal against the inside wall of a Better-Bottle carboy, eliminating crevices that could trap contamination. This very special O-ring also makes it possible to rotate the body of the Racking Adapter easily, without lubrication. Racking simply requires rotating the Adapter so the tip of its intake stem is just above the sediment layer, opening the High-Flow valve, and letting gravity go to work – there is no need for siphons or pumps. The external pointer makes it possible to adjust the position of the stem even if the stem cannot be seen through a dark wine or beer.

The Racking Adapter is especially popular with winemakers and brewers who ferment on shelves, because carboys can be racked without having to move them to a surface with head room for racking canes.

The Racking Adapter is shown with the the High-Flow Valve attached.
We have this priced as a complete system. Everything you need is included other than the ported bottle.
