With two carboys already and another two on the way i am asking if anyone on here has purchased one of these at a reasonable price and if so could they provide some information on the same please ? ;D Also by reasonable price i mean less than 40.00 euro delivered to the door.Also if there is anyone on here willing to look into making such a setup please post same here,thanks again ;D Washable nylon or polyester is preferable, at least to me anyway ;D
I believe Eoin was going to ask his wife (she of the BIAB bags/Hop Bags/Etc) to look into this
I also would like one as I'm sure a few other carboy owners would

Cheers for that Beerfly looks interesting. Hopefully someone here can come up with similar, otherwise that looks a good one ;D
So:
Why waste $20 on a ready made webbing harness from the US when you can waste a lot more money, time and effort making your own ;)
Rule 1: Buy webbing online at about £10 for 50 meteres (of 25 mm) not the €2 a metere I paid in a yacht chandlers :(
Rule 2: Get someone else to make it. Took about 10 man hours to knock this up!!
Rule 3: Learn to use a sewing machine a long time ago and use it every daty. Starting from scratch is a learning experience.
Any ways here is the approx design and some photos.
Used about 6 metres of 25 mm polypropylene webbing.
[@ mention of plastic stuff: @CH: Its blue, very pretty but is it FG?? ]
There is a third handle on the bottom to help when lifting onto a bench. All dimesions are approximate and adjust to fit you 'boy:

Errrrr!! ::) I think that was my point.
HOWEVER - if any wants to have a go there's the design!
Also If Eoin (and Mrs) fancys a go then feel free to copy this.

3. Pissed by bed time.
4. Still limp in the morning
