Haven’t had a chance to test it yet. It looks fairly durable, but don’t know how long it will hold up.
Looks to be very well made and durable. Much safer than carrying a full carboy down 15 steps at my old age.
Very durable construction. It doubles as a light block during fermentation.
Best carrier and UV blocker that ive ever used. Works great with my NB big mouth carboys, much better than the carriers sold by NB. The wide open top means it can be used for various sizes and shapes of carboys.
I used to try and carry the full carboy around my house all by myself and straining my back. With this carrier me and my co-brewer are able to each grab a handle and share the load, very handy!
Good for lifting. can be used to insulate carboy.
I love this carrier. When I was fermenting in my house (I have a fermentation fridge now), I first tried to cover my carboy with a blanket to protect it from light. This carrier makes it easy to handle and keeps the light out. One tip, be sure to put it on before you fill your carboy with wort, it is a lot easier this way.
So far I've only used this on empty glass carboys, but already notice a problem getting both corners to fold over onto the velcro. I'm using the smooth neck 6.5 gallon carboys (FE330), maybe the acid carboy style fits better? Regardless, it does make the carboy easier to carry, and I look forward to using it Saturday with a carboy full of fresh wort. I'm pretty well convinced that even with only one velcro attachment, it would mitigate risk of injury from a broken carboy, which was my primary reason for purchasing it. I've just switched from Better Bottles to glass (I trust scrubbing over soaking), and have to walk my wort about 80' and down an uneven set of concrete steps to my fermentation chamber in the basement, so safety and convenience are a big deal. $35 is cheap insurance.
Will this fit a 7 gal fermonster with spigot?
Should be no problem. I use mine to carry 7 gallon Big Mouth Bubbler carboys with spigots with no issues. It's a good reasonably priced investment that is well made and a back saver to boot!
