Re: carboy straps
I like the idea of Better Bottles for sure.. especially with the build in 'adjustable pick up tube valve' installed. But if one were to buy 2-3 of those you'd really have a lot invested. Mind you, sell the glass carboys and get some of the investment back. Group buy on Better Bottles (w/ valves) anybody? Jimmy, become a dealer!

Re: carboy straps

They carry something like the better bottle, but I think it's a knockoffAllanMar wrote:Does NG carry the better bottles? I don't recall seeing them... If not who does around here?

Re: carboy straps
haha exactly... bad things happen in cars too when you aren't paying attention... forget a pic of a damaged hand.. just take a peak at the highway dotted with make shift crosses every 20 yards... then playing with carboys doesn't seem so risky!!mr x wrote:Hey Jimmy, don't try to scare me with your HBT boogery, hahahahaaa
like cars... been using glass carboys my whole brewing life with no life threatening injuries... but it could happen!!

Re: carboy straps
I use glass carboys exclusively. I wouldn't min getting some of those 30L buckets though, wouldn't have to worry about blowoff, easier to clean...
I've used the better bottle, but really didn't like the flexibility and scratches (used a stiff plastic bristled brush to clean... whoops )
