Carboy weight???

[JOESILVA401]

Looking into shelving for aging carboys from Lowes; but important factor is each shelve's weight capacity. Can anyone tell me how much a 5 and 6 gallon full carboy weighs?

Thanks!

Water weighs 8.3lbs per gallon so............

a six gallon full is 66#, as a guess subtract about 10# for a five gallon.

Of course that excludes carboy, which adds about 10 lbs for glass.

A 5 gallon carboy weighs just over 12# and a 6 gallon weighs right at 13#. The 66# is a 6 gallon carboy full of wine with airlock and bung. Comes in handy having a shipping scale around...lol
Hope this helps.
