The carboys here in Pennsylvania are yellow. They look like jerry cans and have a red lid covering the fill hole on top of the canister. I like the spigot idea but can't figure how that would work on these types of carboys. The syphonig can be messy though I've gotten prety darn good at knowing just when to turn the suction off to fill the bottle but not spill over.

The things we learn with the care and feeding of a swimming pool!
