For that reason I tempt fate like a real man and bear hug those bitches. And I've only dropped one...and it sucked. <br/>On second thought Ted's solution might be the best, the brew hauler might be the way to go.<br/>I might have to get the funnel and strainer, my ghetto muslin bag over the funnel doesn't really work well. Don't buy the siphon/spraying nozzle for transfering the wort either. The siphon gunks up with hops quickly. And I think shaking the carboy aerates it fine.

Get the stainless super long handled spoon (21"?). I really like how it cuts through the mash like a knife.<br/><br/>If you get a funnel, make sure it is the larger size, but unfortunately the diameter of the screen isn't any larger.<br/><br/>Though it is more difficult to get on and off, I'm using a brew hauler cause its much safer. However, I do use the orange handles to place a full carboy onto my skateboard. Then I just roll it to where I need it. Then I just lift it with that sissy handle straight up onto the counter top.<br/><br/>Anyways. Gotta have then all. A plastic spoon is useless. Get the stainless super long handled spoon (21″?).

You're going to need it for brewing a halfway decent IPA. Still, not even a stainless steel spoon will put you up for contention in the Regional Beer Wars. Game on, bitch. Get the spoon!
