- Carboy / Carboys - A carboy is a type of container, typically made of glass or plastic, that is used for holding and transporting large quantities of liquids, such as water, chemicals, or fermented beverages. The name "carboy" comes from the Persian word "qarabah," which means "large jug."
Carboys have been in use for centuries, dating back at least to medieval times. They were originally made of glass and were used to transport and store wine, beer, and other fermented beverages. They were also used for transporting and storing water and other liquids, particularly in the chemical industry. They may can be fitted with a variety of different closures, such as screw caps, snap-on lids, or pour spouts, depending on their intended use.
