5 Litre Glass Demijohn Bottle – Single Handle

5 Litre Glass Demijohn Bottle

This 5 litre glass demijohn bottle is a practical fermentation vessel for small batches of wine, cider, mead and country wines. The clear glass lets you watch fermentation and clearing, while its compact footprint fits neatly on a worktop or shelf.

Its single integrated handle makes an empty demijohn easier to position. When full, always support the vessel from underneath rather than carrying it by the handle alone.

Key Features

• 5 litre maximum capacity
• Clear glass for checking fermentation and clarity
• Single integrated handle
• Suitable for primary fermentation, secondary fermentation and conditioning
• Compatible with standard demijohn bungs and airlocks

What Can You Make in a 5L Demijohn?

It is well suited to small batches and recipe trials, including wine kits, fruit and country wines, cider and mead. Allow enough headspace during active fermentation; once fermentation is complete, reduce the air gap when transferring for clearing or ageing.

What Else Do I Need?

For fermentation, use a bored rubber bung with an airlock. A syphon, cleaner and sanitiser are also recommended for transferring and maintaining the vessel.
