I have 5, 6, and 6.5 gallon glass carboys. The 6.5 gallon is smooth.
I know when the liquid gets to the "lip" or "hump" right before the glass starts to curve into the top is when they are at the rated volume, and of course they hold about .25 - .5 gallon more.
What about the lips or humps going down the side of the carboy, can they be used to determine volume? Something like, halfway between between the first lip and bottom is 1 gallon, halfway between the first and second lips is two gallons.
It's easy enough to find out, by measuring and marking, but my carboys are full. Just wondering if anyone knows if they are designed this way or not?
