I apparently thought 3lbs was more than it is. Its exactly as shown but its a small bag so it wasnt enough for what i needed and ill have to get more. But ill look for cheaper because im not paying $25 again.

Sometimes I have a need for topping off a wine when I don't have a good alternative topping wine, or the volume needed is such that my available topping options are not optimal choices. These marbles are a great alternative in those circumstance and they clean up easily and are easy to sanitize and store for future use. Overall this is a good tool to have in one's home winemaking toolbox.

Bought these to top up my 3 gallon carboy for a batch of wine and they did indeed top it up.

Good for topping up carboy. Works as expected.

Worked great! I used 9 lbs. to top up my 5 gallon carboy of black raspberry wine. Just about a hand full had small cracks and bubbles close to the surface. I picked through and put them around one of my plants. Didn't want any small pieces to end up in my wine. I will be buying more for my next batch. I'll just pick through them.

Bought to maintain a good head pace in carboy

The marbles are what I needed to raise the wine level and remove the air

I'm using these for fermenting vegetables. They are working well.

When need top off it saves small amounts in a wine bottle.

I was expecting larger size marbles. However, the size is working out well. I am currently using them loose in a quart size mason jar to top off vegetables to make kimchi. They are keeping the vegetables submerged in the brine nicely. I plan on using them also when I make sauerkraut in a gallon jar. I will use the entire 3 lbs of marbles confined in nylon netting and place on top of the cabbage. I did a test with nylon netting and the marbles conform well within the jar and will cover the entire surface with plenty of depth.

very fast delivery, very professional, would recommend this company to anyone looking for good deals

Marbles are a great way and least expensive way to top of barrels. I am using marbles in my oak barrel roughly 1.5 lbs every month depending on evaporation amount. So far, for 2 months, I have used 3 lbs. Great invention. better than using new wine to top up every month in my opinion..

These marbles are the best thing I've found for topping up your carboys. They are small and clear so you can see if you have cleaned them properly. I wash them with PBW, then sanitize the with Star san. Much safer than topping off with a similar wine.

These are a MUST HAVE item for you if you ever are unable to fill your carboy to the neck. Eliminating headspace (exposure to oxygen) is vital in winemaking...and these can be cleaned and sanitized easily and are the best item I've found to help fill space (other than adding wine itself from an earlier vintage or similar varietal).

I was looking for marbles to top off carboys. I bought some colored marble for kids use and noticed they were made in China. I was afraid of what minerals were used to make colored marbles in China. Since beer is a food product, no way was I going to use them in my brew.I found the MoreBeer clear marbles and was very happy with them.I sanitize them and into the carboy with no fear of contamination.

I love these marbles. They are a great way to top off your carboys or barrels without adding additional wine. I especially love them for barrels. In a barrel, you are concentrating up the wine and when you add more wine to top off you dilute it a bit.
