I'm sure that I'm not the only one here who has to carry his full (heavy, wet, slippery, ackward) carboys from the kitchen to the basement. I know that every time I do it I think about how much it would suck to drop all of that time and money as well as the mess that would ensue. I hope that I'm not the first person to figure this out, but I've never seen anyone mention it. I'm sorry if I'm repeating known information, but
CARBOYS FIT GREAT IN MILK CRATES
5G Carboys fit good, a little bit of extra room, but that gives you enough room to get your fingers through the handles with no problem.
7.5G Carboys are a bit of a tighter fit, filling most of the milk crate so you can't really get your fingers through the handle holes. But personally I would rather carry a wet milk crate with all of it's holes and slots than a wet carboy.
Milk crates are relatively easy to come by, cheap or free. In fact there's a very good chance that just about every one reading this has at least one in there house somewhere. Hope this helps at least one person from breaking a carboy somewhere along the line.
