Carboy Protector and Dolly: Projects

In this installment of “Projects,” we will solve the problem of moving and protecting glass carboys, which are not only expensive, but also prone to breakage if they are wet or handled without caution, or stored against each other on an unstable surface. Full carboys are also heavy and hard to move around a homebrewery without risking injury. Try building these two inexpensive carboy projects and you may be saving yourself some money on buying a new carboy — or at least your back!
