Northern Brewer: 4 cornies/$60

**the_bird** · 04-03-2007, 01:23 PM

Pretty good price on used kegs from Northern Brewer. They're running a sale, 4 used kegs for $60. Shipping was about $20 to me, so about $20 a pop, all-in, for pressure-tested kegs. Strikes me as a pretty damn good deal, that's as cheap as you'll find from Craigslist or eBay, and you're getting them from a very reputable company.

Now, I've got these four coming, plus three coming from sailman (plus all the other equipment I'll need), so I should be all set for the foreseeable future.

Already ordered mine this morning!

That brings my total up to 11 - guess I'd better do some more brewing!!

See, now I need another, larger fridge, so I can do some serious long-term lagering...

Good find. I'm pretty set right now with my 6 cornies, but if I need another I know where to go. Glad to see someone is pricing them correctly.

And to think - 6 months ago I was thinking about getting rid of my second fridge because I didn't need it for food! Thank <insert your deity of choice> I rediscovered homebrewing!

I got the email, too! Fantastic deal.

Cheese, it's for a limited time only, so you might not want to wait on it.

Same price I got them for off of eBay.

My 'rator holds three kegs, so I'll have an additional three for aging. That's pretty good for me.

Yeah, I got the email too, unfortunately the SWMBO was looking over my shoulder and said " oh, good thing you don't need anymore so you don't have to spend the money.." Do'h!!

Omar,

Say this to her: "Well darling, I could get in on this amazing deal and get four now, or wait until I need one and they're not on sale and pay the same price for ONLY ONE KEG!"

(plus throw in something about Northern Brewer saving children in Africa or something...)

See, I had no plans to buy more kegs, and I *really* hope this come on a day when I'm home before the wife... but I know I'll want/need more than three, especially since I want to dedicate one keg to experimenting with making some less sickly-sweet soda pop for us. I happened to ask the guy at the HBS how much he got for kegs, and they're $35. I almost bought four from pedalbiker for $90+shipping. If I end up not using all seven (and I know the odds of that are nil), I can always turn around and re-sell these to my buddy homebrewers for $20 and get my money back. So, I had to jump on this.
