Anyone know of a source for non-plastic jugs that can be used with a water dispenser? Does anyone make these in large size (3 to 5 gallon) in stainless steel or aluminum or something?

TIA!

Homebrew suppliers will have glass carboys.

Carboy is a Large (5 gallons) Glass jug, like the ones that you get for a water cooler except larger and glass. They may even have some kind of dispenser nozzle but im not sure. Carboy should run 50 bucks but may be more. Ocassionally you can find them on craigslist or freecycle as well.

I've been wondering this myself. In my area the only company that delivers water is Culligan and it's in plastic jugs. So, how would a person want to do that? Would it be worth transferring their water into a glass container since it'd already been in a plastic one? Or do you take the big glass container and fill it somewhere?

I found some 5-gallon glass bottles for water dispensers at www.custompure.com. They are $15 each (and weight 15 lbs!)--but I am still waiting to hear about shipping costs. If we buy them, we plan to bring them to the HFS and fill them up there.
