Description I wanted a carboy drainer that was 3d printable (because why not?). They're stackable, too.

Great design! Stuff like this is why I love 3d printing - "it'd be great if I just had a little thing to hold this.. someone has to be selling this. $23 for 2 pieces of plastic?! I'm making my own."

Glass carboys don’t see them very often these days. What are you brewing in them?

Got them for free, other wise I wouldn't. They're also only 3 gallons, so a lot easier to handle. Haven't tried them yet, but a porter is going in this weekend.

You can’t turn down a free fermenter and also hell yeah on a porter! Love me some beers durning summer. I am a big BA guy and we got some great ones here in Denver
