Have a large number of plastic carboys ( Better Bottle and others) that would like to use for vacuum degassing, transferring and racking.
Plastic is not strong enough by itself - carboy walls basically collapse at anything over 2 in of H20 vacuum and that is not enough to degass anything. Has anybody seen or got something to either add to the outside of the carboy or to the inside that will prevent this buckling? Or is this another opportunity for an invention?
