Glass Carboy sizes

[JacobS]

Does anyone know where to get glass carboys in a size in between 6.5G and 14G? More specifically something in the 10G range?

I am planning on setting up a Solera for making a blended Wild ale. I don't want to use plastic because of how long the beer will be in there, and Stainless doesn't let me monitor fermentation the way I would like... Any thoughts?

Look for something called a "demijohn". it's basically the same thing as a carboy (meaning, it's a big glass jug).

For some reason, wine making references talk about demijohns while beer making references talk about carboys.

For example, here's a link to a 15 gallon demijohn:

OK, but once again the size is the question. I can find 14.25G, 15/15.5G and 17G but I really could use a 8-10G size....

Is there one out there?

I don't know for sure where to get one, but google turned up a hit on ebay in the UK. Unfortunately, the bidding ended on Feb 26th.

yup just found that too. And shipping from UK would = $$$$

I'll keep looking...
