What are large glass jars called?
Large glass jars are also known as carboys or demijohns. A demijohn can hold 16 gallons, and is typically made of glass. They were historically used to transport water or chemicals, but nowadays, demijohns are used to brew beer in one’s home. You’ll find a variety of demijohns from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
