Anybody Want This?

I think it has something to do with home brewing, so I thought maybe the home brewers reading this might be interested. Or you could use it as a very large vase. Fill it with marbles. Save pennies in it.
Big Bottle - about 2 feet tall. Big Bottle - about 2 feet tall. It was in the attic of the garage.

Good luck. It might be the photo; but it might just be that a glass jar that big is inherently cool.

Could be used for fermentation, at least secondary, in brewing I think. I've always wondered how people decided what weight of coins was safe to transport (lift) in a glass container, at least one that big.

Yep - looks like a carboy - it would make an excellent secondary fermenter.

The question in my family growing up was, "How do you decide when it is full of pennies?" When level with the lip of the bottle neck? When mounded over? When you can no longer balance even one more coin on the top? It's not as obvious as you might expect.

Yes, I see that.

I take it that glue would be considered inappropriate, cheating. What about museum putty, though?
