garypl Posted August 16, 2018 Report Posted August 16, 2018 Made another beer growler carrier for my nephew. Made of 4-5 oz veg tan with 1-2 oz pigskin trim. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members battlemunky Posted August 16, 2018 Members Report Posted August 16, 2018 That is great! I think all the colors compliment each other and the work is really clean! Your nephew will be thrilled I'm sure! The hop looks pretty cool as well. Quote

Members kiwican Posted August 16, 2018 Members Report Posted August 16, 2018 How did you do the bottom? Quote
garypl Posted August 16, 2018 Author Report Posted August 16, 2018 Thanks everyone! Kiwican - the carry strap goes under the growler and there is another hidden strap that goes from one side, under the growler and up the other side, so they form a cross under the growler to support it. I used a jiffy rivet to hold the straps together where they cross each other. I already gave it to him so I can’t take another picture. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members noobleather Posted August 16, 2018 Members Report Posted August 16, 2018 Really nice growler carrier there, as an all grain brewer I am always taking a growler full of brew round to a mates place. Really nice to be able to carry it in a stylish case such as that. Quote

I am planning to make a sample and take to my local growler shop to see what kind of interest they might have to offer them for sale to their customers. Maybe make a plain version for less money and offer customized units for higher. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members noobleather Posted August 20, 2018 Members Report Posted August 20, 2018 I reckon you will have some sales Quote

My son was my assistant brewmaster when he was about 4 years old! Now both my sons are into all grain brewing and we have a supply store close by with an amazing selection of ingredients. Times have changed! Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members noobleather Posted August 21, 2018 Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 I have been all grain for about 10years now and it's has really come along way with what you can buy these days. I have a 3V system with a 80-100L brew capacity depending on the style and alcohol gravity. Cheers Quote
