Big Ol' Funnel

[gruntingfrog]

I found this funnel at ACE Hardware. I've been looking for something to aid filling my carboys, but they never make funnels big enough. This thing holds 2 quarts and has a huge opening. They had a 6 quart version but it wouldn't fit in my 6.5 gallon carboy.

The funnel originally had a fine-mesh screen on the bottom (see inset), but 2 minutes with a hack saw and razor blade took care of that.

I think it will significantly speed up filling my primary.

I would have thought the screen a plus (other than the clogging).

Unfortunately, the screen was very fine since the funnel is supposed to be for filling gas tanks so it would have clogged very quickly.
