Carboy Carrier - Brew Hauler

Works flawlessly for carboys with rings around the sides, but for the ones with smooth sides it’s not great. Constantly slides all the way off. More of an annoyance than a real problem. Could probably be solved with slight modification.

Works as expected

I use this to lift carboys in and out of the freezer for cold stabilization. Works great!

Works great on plastic carboys

Most reviews refer to glass carboys, but I have had good luck with plastic carboys, too.

Helps out

I've used these to get carboys in and out of my keezer and it sure does make life easier. I don't trust a handle around the neck not breaking the glass, especially when the carboy is full. I could see the straps on this slipping off to the side and allowing a carboy to slip out and fall as others have said. So I'm just conscious and cautious about that and have had no problems. Extra design features could help with that risk though.

Sturdy construction does the job

I got one to try as I was having trouble carrying carboys down to the basement(14 steps). It is much easier to carry full carboys with this brew hauler. Buckle works fine and have had no problems. I'll be buying more for all my carboys.

avoid!

Dropped my first full carboy, after 15 years of brewing, thanks to this strap. The buckle failed, releasing the carboy to the floor. Luckily I escaped injury, however spent the whole day today cleaning the mess that resulted.

Cheap buckle makes these a genuine danger. MoreBeer you should drop these from your inventory!

Plastic clip failed before lifting, inspect before you lift!

It's all good

Ordered a Brew Hauler, received a "Carboy Carrier".
Seems like the same item as the BH. So no big deal.
These are great, Clean it while cleaning the carboy. which is when the glass is the hardest to hold onto. The straps can be used to ease setting the carboy down on a hard surface as they form a cushion on the bottom.

Use Carboys? Buy it!

They have been great! when ever you need to lift a carboy into or out of a fermenting vessel, chest freezer,or a tub I use these every time. Carboys are Heavy and half the time Slippery! Last thing you want to do it drop a 5-6 gallon full carboy on you feet smashing the glass everywhere and loosing all that precious beer you worked so hard for, Get 1 or 2.

Good Value/Very Handy

This is a must have if you're fermenting in glass carboys. It gives you the piece of mind to safely transport your wort without the worry of the carboy slipping and crashing onto the floor.

Works perfectly!

I bought one of these when I switched to a chest freezer fermentation chamber, I needed something sturdy to help lift the carboy in/out. This product works perfectly, and fits both my 5 and 6.5 gallon carboys. Definitely much easier and more secure than the handles attached to the neck. Now I just need to buy a few more so all my carboys have them!

A real handy tool

Glass carboys can get heavy when they are full! This brew haulers makes getting them around a lot easier and much safer. I can easily lift a full carboy myself with the brew hauler and I have thrown it in the washing machine more than a few times when it got dirty.

Great idea

Over the years, each time I pick up a full glass carboy, I've just been waiting for one to bust or something to happen. I bought a couple of these Brew Haulers a few years ago when I saw them at the homebrew shop and have loved using them. I like to save money, but if you use glass carboys, buy a Brew Hauler for each. This is one of those things that you'll never think it was a waste of money.

Works great

The brew hauler makes moving full glass carboys a snap.
If you have a fermometer taped to the side of your carboy, remove it before using the hauler. The straps can wrinkle it.

Must have

There is no easy way to carry a 6 gallon glass carboy, well except with this carrier, is easy to attach and you can trust it will hold. Then the added bonus of the strap on the bottom, when you set the Glass carboy down on tile or concrete you do not have to worry about a slight drop or moving around will scratch/crack the glass, this is a must have.

good but pricey

I'm a big fan of these. They make handling a large glass carboy much safer. However for twenty feet of nylon cordage, it's pretty expensive.

If you use glass carboys: this is a MUST have piece of equipment

Even empty carboys are hard to handle at times (like when you are cleaning them). It only takes one mishap and one is too many.

Hey MoreBeer: why don't you label it as "The Brew Hauler", which it is, people know the name, and calling the a "nylon carboy carrier" makes it sould like a knock-off.

Anyway, these will fit from 5 to 6.5 gallons for sure, and really give you a sense of confidence when lifting and moving carboys. I use a handle on the neck as well, especially for tipping and inverting.

Once you have used one you will never move a corboy without one. Cheers!

I started without one of these and had to purchase one as my glass carboy is quite heavy.

Think about it, you have five gallons or 40 plus pounds in a glass container than weighs in at just under 20 lbs. A broken glass container is not only a waste of good beer, but a danger to all who could step on a glass shard or slip on the beer and receive a cut from a broken carboy.
