If your gonna roll over carpet and bumps pneumatic tires work much nicer than solidsadie33 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 3:09 pmLOL, I never thought about having to carry them!!Salt Must Flow wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 8:47 am sadie33, previously you mentioned how difficult it is to carry around heavy buckets, etc... I have swiveling casters/wheels on all of my boilers, fermenters and anything heavy. You can easily make a wood base with swiveling casters to set things on and push them around very easily. Some people can't do this if they have to move them over carpeted floors so it's not a solution for everyone. Luckily I only work in my garage with a concrete floor and it's easy to move around even a 55 gal drum full. As Deplorable said, pond pumps are really handy for transferring especially with larger fermenters.My kitchen floor is lenolium( I know I spelt that wrong), then I have to go across the rug in kinda the dinning room, over a big bump to our hard wood floor in the living room. I could make something like that, or make my husband carry it
Though I do like to be self-sufficient.

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try to make something like that. It might be tricky, but I could probably make it work.
I drink so much now,on the back of my license it's a list of organs I need.

Re: Just Venting
OMG..that's hilarious. I'm a lid user so no worries for me. But. I also "had" and I say had a touchy drill trigger. And Bills all molasses wash is not forgiving in momma bears kitchen. So now I'm confined to the garage for my "messy fn hobby".NZChris wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 1:40 pmNot my story, thankfully.Hoosier Shine9 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:41 am

Re: Just Venting
oh my goodness! and I thought I made a mess today. (squeezed the trigger just a little too hard when mixing with the paint mixer) Luckily I was outside on the deck. Splashed all over me and the deck; that molasses does make the biggest mess! I always kick my animals (2 dogs and a cat) out of the kitchen when I still.
Oh, and I carried my 8 gal ferment of SBBs all Molasses rum by my self.
I like those 8 gal buckets way better then the 6.5

Cheese and rice. How much did you have in the 8 gallon bucket? It’s about all I can do to carry 6 gallons of cleared beer. All I wanna do for that matter.
