I just got (2) 5 galItalian ( from George ) ribbed, made in Italy on bottom of carboy and on shipping carton.
5 US gal just fills them about 1/2 inch above the shoulder (not enough for long term aging in my opinion ) ( and both carboys are the same size )
Another 650 ML get within a 1 1/2 - 2 inch below bung ...
so call it 5 + gals .... ( side note, as I use various size wine bottles as I rack down, I find the delta number in ML more useful then cups or fractional gals ...
