Yeah, that's what I'd be most worried about. I don't care how it's attached, I don't trust that..Keith wrote:With my luck the air lock would come off the bottom lol.
Ratchet strapped a carboy to a tree??? No thank you!Evan Harris wrote:sorry I don't get on here much. I bought a glass diamond bit (Amazon's the cheapest) cut one hole in the bottom of the carboy and one on the top. The trick is to keep the carboy from moving while you are drilling (otherwise you risk cracking or chipping the glass) so I secured it to the side of a tree with ratchet straps and drilled with light pressure. I bought the orange carboy cap from midwest I believe. The bung is slightly smaller than normal size because of the bit I used. The stand is just a bar stool cut in half. The spigots you can get at your local homebrew or hardware store. Also, I used food grade silicone to secure the spigot in the carboy but it has started leaking so I'm going to have to figure something else out. I have seen spigots with a rubber attachment that they use on rain barrels. I would imagine that would work since it hold 55 gal in but I have yet to try it.
Same here, looks very iffy. Maybe possible to rig up something more solid on a plastic carboy?Jimmy wrote:Yeah, that's what I'd be most worried about. I don't care how it's attached, I don't trust that..Keith wrote:With my luck the air lock would come off the bottom lol.
