Ideas Wanted: Moving 15 gallons down the stairs

I know this is an old post to which I had previously replied. But let's do it again because I understand back pain and shoulder pain. When I get 60# of honey delivered to me, my 14 year old son has to carry it downstairs.

  1. Is this still a problem for you?
  2. Why not brew downstairs and avoid the shlep?
  3. If you have the ability to build a rail system, you have the ability to drill a hole on the floor and run a tube downstairs.
  4. Tell you wife you want to have another child to help you move the wine. This will get you permission to drill a hole in the floor. Always works for me.

When we purchased must it came in 20L containers. Each one we moved downstairs to brew and it wasn't such a bad thing, except for the tight corner at the bottom.

Skipped on the rail system for now, even tho I'd like to fix the squeeky stairs. I'll accidently push thru it next time.

The kid idea sounds good, but it would be our first and she's already itching to have'em- don't need an excuse like that it would backfire.

How much does the honey cost you? We paid 33$ for 15lbs of buckwheat and 30$ for 15lbs of wildflower this year. Didn't think I could get much cheaper than that.

Brewing downstairs is the easiest way of doing things, it's just getting all the liquid downstairs that is the problem. Still might look at using a garden hose that's hot fluid rated or some PVC pipe, even tho I do not want to keep PVC in contact with the wine for any length. I may buy solvent-rated PVC as it would be more resistive.
