Sloshing

[hatless]

Is there a dignified way to carry a full fermenting vessel from one room to another?

[Horden Hillbilly]

Can someone else in your home give you a hand to carry it?

If you haven't got a step or stairs to negotiate you could make a trolley out of a piece of plywood and some castors.

Sack trolley? As long as the FV isn't filled to the brim and you don't tip it too far

Yep, I made 2 of those - best thing I ever did for my back.

Take the water to the fermenter rather than the other way round and fill the fermenter where you intend to ferment it. (2 or 3 trips with a small clean sanitised bucket of water is easier than 1 trip with a full 25L bucket. ASDA used to sell buckets with a handy pouring lip)

This is the simplest answer. Thanks, Chris, you seem to have the sort of brains I lack. Obvious really! I usually hug my FV like a beloved partner while the contents slosh back and forth, and we do a drunken waltz across the kitchen to the basement.

A trolley wouldn't be much good then would it, but a hose to the basement would .

I'm not sure I should call it a basement, really. Strange Victorian terrace, and the kitchen is the old scullery, on the same level as the basement.

Mine, when kegged goes to the shed for after its warm week, I opt for the 'Buster Gonads' method of waddling with it swinging between my legs.
