Neck-Mount Handle for Easier Empty Carboy Handling, Cleaning and Storage
The Carboy Handle is a practical brewing and winemaking accessory designed to make handling empty glass carboys easier, safer, and more controlled. Made in Canada, this handle attaches around the neck of a compatible empty carboy, giving you a firm grip when moving, rinsing, cleaning, draining, or storing your fermentation vessels.
Ideal for homebrewers, winemakers, cider makers, mead makers, kombucha makers, and fermentation hobbyists, the Carboy Handle is especially helpful when hands are wet or slippery. It is important to use this handle only with empty carboys. Full carboys should always be supported from the bottom and sides, as lifting a full carboy by the neck can cause breakage and injury.
