Cheap carboy stand/draining tip - use a coffee cup

This may be common knowledge (I couldn't find a good way to search for it), but I thought I'd pass on a tip for a cheap carboy stand.

1) Put a coffee mug on the floor (near a wall is best as the wall can help stabilize the carboy)
2) Put a carboy, neck down, into the mug - the mug walls should be tall enough so they support the carboy

If you're drying/draining the carboy, check and empty the cup every so often.

I do this after cleaning and sanitizing.

I just use a pvc coupling for a 3" or 4" pvc pipe... works like a charm, and it is pretty stable

I use cheap gardening planters - green plastic buckets with a hole cut in the top. You can cut holes in the sides to aid in ventilation too.

I bought carboy dryers so I could get ripped off

I use a 2.5 gallon plastic paint bucket. I would think a coffee cup would be unstable for my taste.

I use my loving burly arms.

LOL J/K.

Thanks for the advice. I hadn't thought of it.
