Carboy Calibration Numbers PDF Print E-mail

tncarboycal

Model: CarboyCal - Starting at $6.99 a pair with discounts for additional strips.

Inspired by the calibration numbers for the sight glass kits, these larger numbers allow you to calibrate carboys (including Better Bottles) up the the larger 6.5 gallon size. The full gallon marks from 1 to 6 are a full 1" tall and 1" wide including the pointer triangles. Six additional 1/2" tall triangles are and four 1/4" tall triangles are included if marking 1/2 and 1/4 gallon increments is desired.

Includes:

Two strips of premium cut WHITE vinyl with back masking for easy application. The vinyl has an OUTDOOR rating of at least 7 years with a permanent waterproof adhesive. These will stand up to repeated washing and even occassional soaking in water baths. They can be added to any other hardware order for no additional shipping charge or can be purchased alone for the price of a USPS first class stamp. (6 pairs can go into a single envelope for 44 cents). Note: although the graphic on the right shows the white vinyl on a black background, there is no black in the decal. The pictures below are more representative of what the final install will look like.

Install Requirements:

  • Your carboy must be cleaned well with no oils or dust.
  • With the top masking still in place on the number strip, cut between each number, one through six.
  • Use a vertically applied length of masking tape on the carboy as a straight edge and to have a place to mark the gallon levels.
  • After marking off each gallon increment (or half gallon if you wish), empty the carboy and lay it on its side on a carpet or mat.
  • Remove the bottom layer of shiny paper from the number/arrow carfully. Hold the number by the semi-opaque masking material and line it up on the carboy against the edge of your masking tape, with the triangle pointing to your calibration mark. Smooth the number down with a credit card and remove the top masking.
  • It is highly recommended that you view THIS VIDEO before installing the decals. Note, the final design has changed slightly but the process is the same.

These are some examples of the decals, in a slightly different prototype design, applied to three different carboys.

Nice!!! Now I don't have to worry about rubbing off my Sharpie numbers during clean up (and after a couple brews), then having to recalibrate the whole thing again. Great product.
Thanks
