Reinforce beer fermenter handles

The main part of brewing beer is fermentation and ageing which involves beer sitting in a fermentation bucket for weeks at a time. This bucket can have anywhere between 20 to 30 litres of beer in it at any time which is heavy to lift.

I don't trust the metal handle to sustain this weight and usually lift the bucket where the plastic juts out beneath the handle.

Unfortunately this causes the plastic to crack which makes it quite sore on the hands when lifting. Using sugru to repair the cracks and soften the edges of the plastic makes the heavy buckets much more comfortable to lift.
