Thanks. I found this while waiting for a reply and already placed a order: http://www.brewboard.com/index.php?showtopic=34669

Awhile back someone posted some venders where you could get bulk o-rings for corny kegs. Anyone recal? I have about 8 kegs that id like to have o-rings on hand for and dont want to spend $4 each. Rather just get a boat load.:mug:

FYI, the beer turned out Ok. 2.4% alcohol which is about = to drinking water. Flavor is ok with a lime. I think ill try something different for a budget beer next time. LMK if anyone has any recipies for a light flavored beer around4-5%.

That is true.

I hear that loud and clear. But i figured why not give it a shot. I only have $13 to loose and im sure i will drink it unless it makes me sick. I am willing to bet i have drank worse.:eek:

Thanks for the good posts guys and gals(?). Its good to hear everyones methods...

It looks like they will be no good. Ill go ahead and PM you my address so that I can dispose of them properly. Lol!

Does anyone else prefer this method? I tried natural and force. Natural takes too long and force carbing seems to be inconsistent and gives a off flavor. I was constantly adjusting the psi to get it right which just made it worse. With this method i hook up the keg in the fridge and let it...
