Well, not really. But I do wish now that for my fourth Carboy I had gotten another 23L Italian glass one instead of having to try a BB. I really do like how light the Better Bottle (BB) is and how easy it is to clean but in using it for the first time I lost ~3 pints of wine. Topped off my glass carboys apparently hold about 3 pints more than the BB. Fortunately I was watching the racking, to get the wine off some fine sediment, glass carboy to BB and was able to lift the siphon before to much wine spilled onto the floor. The issue isn't BBs by themselves but 23L glass carboys don't, for me, mix and match very well. Think after this BB is emptied it will be relegated to a "secondary" fermentation vessel. Oh well, should have listened to the advise given to me by a co-owner of my LHBS to stick with glass carboys.
