Exploding Carboy

Nice job, Lufah!

I bought 2 of the BrewHaulers cause I'm too lazy to sew those myself.
10.99 each at my LHBS. Definitely worth the price.

I dropped my carboy twice in one day which scared me too, luckily it was out side on the lawn when I did it. I fixed that problem I purchased a conical. I still use the carboy but I now rack any fluid out of it if it is full. I only handle it when there is about a gallon of liquid in it.

Most the guys in my local brew club have stuck to buckets or gone to better bottle plastic carboys due to two cases of exploding glass carboys. In both cases the carboys were at some phase of cleaning. One was not being handled at all and just shattered while siting on the counter. The other was being lowered into a sink and that fellow ended up with multiple stitches. Most of us decided it was not worth it. I have one glass carboy left that sits on a shelf and is never used.

Me and my brewing partner have broken two carboys, mine I dropped while trying to carry and place it in the refer and his he knocked over with a ladder . It was a bit scary and I only sustained minimal injuries, but I certainly gained a new respect for carboys.
