Do you think a thick denim jacket for the carboy would work?

Buckets.... I'm so glad I switched. Buckets and a sponge. Life is good.
GilaMinumBeer said:If I remember correctly, there have also been lots of threads about PET/PETE and glass carboys containing lethal amounts of dihydrogen monoxide. It's a wonder any of these things are considered safe for anything.
I am personally not too worried about the lethality of H2O. Lol.

Try Reynolds turkey bags for bucket liners and your world will NEVER be the same again!
How about going really high end here?? Get some really good shock absorbing foam, wrap the outside of the carboy with it. Then get some sheets of carbon fiber, heat it up until it's pliable and form it all around the carboy. Then it will be a CARboy... I suppose you could use fiberglass (and resin) instead, if you can't get carbon fiber sheets. But it won't look so cool.
A Leather sack.
A fiber glass or carbon fiber wrapped carboy in the shape of the Linux penguin would rank pretty high on my list if most epic thing ever.
I would rhino line mine if I was worried. I have taken measures against moving any filled carboys so I am not worried at all.
But but but, you could do the R2D2 with working servo motors so it could wheel the full carboy wherever you wanted to put it.
As much as I came up with both of them, articulated R2D2 fermenter trumps penguin anyday...unless the pingu moved too.

Two pages ago, you wanted to rant and play moderator about staying on topic, which is, as you said, "about how to make a glass carboy safer."
Don't ride your high horse too much longer if you're posting comments about R2D2 in the same thread.

NOW.......
How do I bulletproof that chicken?????
Well, first you get that crazy chicken that has no fear...

I actually thought he was carrying on the thought of working towards a shatterproof carboy and improving further by incorporating some form of design or artistic element on top of his fiberglass wrap.
GOT HIM!!!!!!!
now what?
No wait.....we'll make him bigger, faster, stronger, and.....BULLETPROOF!!
I agree... Making the protection more artistic than just functional isn't a bad thing. With fiberglass, you're only limited by your skills.
Shoot him. After the first hit, he should be bulletproof and a lot more relaxed.
Great! But wait....that is what I said about the carboy (hammer etc.) and I was accused of being off topic........hmmmmmm
Neat ideas! I wonder if a non permanent solution would be better in order to see if the inside is clean?
Ive got a mix of better bottles and glass carboys. I know those shoulders can be a pain to clean sometimes after several weeks of use with caked on krausen and whatnot. If you could take off the protective cover, it would be easier to see when cleaning.
...or just don't cover the neck with the protective coat...
Yep....no practical way to make a chicken bullet proof.
Pingu vs R2D2?
My pick:
Don't take this the wrong way but that pingu looks 'beyond gay'... I mean, I'm surprised it's not engulfed in flames.
the rest of the post is interesting, but it comes down to this.
OK If I used glass, I would put the carboy in an Ale Pale or similar bucket and squish in a lot of rubber cement or some other slightly viscous material.
This^^ but I would use expanding foam.
