Why not convert a keg and save some $$$...
If I am not mistaken, any retailer that sells Blichmann stuff can order them if they are available. I would call Northern Brewer and see what they say.

Comments like that are the brewing equivalent of me saying "I'm buying a Jeep" and you chiming in with "Why not get a Prius? It has better MPG."
One of our local home brew stores has been trying to get rid of one for a few weeks. I cannot remember if it was a 10 gallon or a 15 gallon. Here is their website.

You will have to call and ask. However, I don't think the discount was all that significant - maybe $20 or $30 at the most.

I Got 3 15 gal cosmetic defects, called s1, from rebel Brewer, they are 10% off retail and I couldn't even find a single scratch on them. Great deal if I ever buy bigger Boilermakers I would buy blemished again
Called them and they hooked me up with a cosmetic defect 15 gallon boilermaker and shipping was only 7.99. (and no tax!) Thanks

What did they charge you for the kettle?
327.99 Those things are built like a tank too, so I'm not worried about any scratch is may have on it.

I have a Prius and usually use it when I make the drive to pick up malt. Record so far is 400lb of malt, still got 50mpg. Don't need no stinking Jeep. Then again I live in town, maybe you need a Jeep.
It seems odd to be buying the most expensive darned kettle on the market, and then want to buy a scratch and dent to save $20.
If anyone is interested in a 20 gallon with cosmetic defect for $365 shipped contact me on the web site below.

It's actually more like saying "I'm buying a corvette" and you chiming in with "Why not a beat up 66 Shelby Cobra" you could save some money up front, and with a lot of work it could be just as nice as a corvette.

There were also two passengers and I believe we probably exceeded 400lb. 50mpg is impressive to me every time I pull into the gas station.
I have a prius but I drive like an a-hole so I only get 47 mpg. Not a bad compromise for getting my speed fix AND great mpg.
My max has been 3 fifty pound sacks of pilsner malt and 50 pounds of cane sugar in one trip. That's only one extra passenger. I still got good mileage AND I got to drive like a pricque. Best of both worlds.
My E46 M3 was WAY faster but I got WAY too many tickets in that beast.

I have a Ford F-150 Platinum that gets 13.2 MPG if I'm lucky so suck on that!

I have an '03 Dodge Durango that gets terrible gas mileage but I work from home so I don't drive it very much. Calculate that! :fro:

But how many blemished Blingmanns can you haul in them? That was the what this thread was about right?

I bet you can carry more than 400# without losing MPG.

Next time I'll have you swing by and we'll pick up a pallet of malt. I'll even have them drop it from twenty feet in the air like in the Ford commercial.I have a Ford F-150 Platinum that gets 13.2 MPG if I'm lucky so suck on that!

I've heard them referred to as Blingmann, I guess the scratch and dent stuff is Dingmann?
The commercials are rediculous.
BTW I've always owned GMs. However when we started looking 3 years ago the GM truck looked so stale and needed some serious updating compared to the Ford. I never thought I would own a Ford Truck but dang I've been happy. The F150 has been hands down the best vehicle I've ever owned. The Platinum version makes me feel like I'm driving a luxury sedan with the benefits of a truck.

I think the Prius is designed to handle pallets of rice.
