I cracked my glass carboy
After cold crashing and transfer, I went to go clean it with hot water without thinking. It broke in half in an almost perfect bowl shape. I didn't expect it since it had been 30 minutes since the transfer and didn't feel too cold. I'm lucky I had it on the ground when it broke. Usually I have it balancing on the sink.
I think this was a cheap carboy, the glass looks pretty thin. Is it typical for the mid section to be so thin?

I've only seen the ones with spigots on more beer. Do you find them anywhere else? I always like to shop around first to get the best price and shipping.

Buy a spigot and drill a hole for it, takes 30 seconds and cheaper than buying them with the spigot premounted.

The price difference on More Beer is $4 between the spigot version and the non-spigot version. The price of a spigot by itself is $3-$4.

Fair enough, the price difference is $15-20 at my LHBS
