not really using - rolling carboys

Post by doremi »

Hi team,

I am not sure where to post, so I put it here.

I got 2 rolling carboys as shown on the picture. I never had such nice rolling and turnable holders before, I use KEG's. And since I guess I do not need them I just want to check if somebody else could really need them. Maybe someone with a bad back...

If anyone has interest just write me an email ( doremi[at]gmx.de ) mentioning a price or what you would like to trade for.

Prost

Wow, those are amazingly cool, all they are missing are hydraulics to raise and lower them, that and a flux capacitor to speed up the fermentation process.

I heard that Japanese are quite ahead, maybe you could build me a nice little extra something?

Those are sweet! However, my house is raised and I have stairs to contend with so the fuctionality is totally lost on me...


Cheers!

Very cool, I make mine out of plywood and some nice bearing wheels, they're analogous to the moving rollers the pro-moving Van type folks use except flat on top and will fit three at a time.

So how much do these suckers cost?

Hang on, I just took a closer look at the picture and realized something...

Do these things act like a tippy dump too? Can you pivot the carboy to pour out the content for cleaning etc?

That's a new level of coolness :)

Hi,

sorry for the late answer, I did not check this thread for a while.

Sure, you can. This is what makes it so nice. It works like a roll cart and you cn turn up-side-down since the bottle is in a 'cage'.
I did not make it myself, I got it from somebody who ordered it from a pro, originally it was not designed for home-brewing.
