Been brewing many years. I like brewing out on the patio. We have a hot tub on the cement patio so I put the cooler/tun on top of it and use a pump to transfer the hot water to it then gravity to drain it. My kettle was high enough to gravity feed into the fermenter.
My issue is I ferment in the basement and have a tri-level house so it's quite a walk including 13 stairs with 5.5 gallons of wort in a carboy or my FastFerment conical. I mostly use the FF. I have the straps to lift the conical and have used a 5-gallon bucket to carry it but it's always a choir. I pulled a muscle in my back last brew. This is not super heavy load but it is a very awkward.
Was thinking of trying to use a folding hand cart I have but wondering if others have come up with other solutions.
Thanks
Mike
