Does anyone use the Fermentap carboy stands?

Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:36 pm

Howdy all. I was wondering if any of you use the Fermentap carboy stands that invert the carboy to act like a conical.

Seems like a neat idea; are they worth a damn?

Many thanks.

No offense to fermentap.
I use the stand to dry carboys
I have heard the "conical" contraption sucks monkey nuts.

Kind of what I was afraid of. Seems like if it worked great everybody would be using 'em... I'm having visions of a 5 gallon tidal wave of beer overtaking my chest freezer..

Too bad we don't have the retail head of Fermentap here to talk about the products...

Oh wait...

Wait for it...
