Just spoke to Ashley, she said she has a lot of them and they come with airlocks. I may go pick up a few on my day off tomorrow.

Nice! My brother in law has a winery up by Buffalo, NY with a bunch they don't use as well but I ride a motorcycle up so no way to get some back. lol

Awesome thanks am always in that area. Any idea how many they have?

the rep said she had a lot. I want a couple myself at that price, but may not be able to get there this weekend.

Where are you located if I make it there and stock is getting low will pick up 2 extra. I live in Richmond

i am in woodbridge, about 4 miles off I-95. And sir I am a Gints fan (grew up in Brooklyn). I would prob take 2 if you get there. Its just a pain in the butt to go up to Alexandria. If you are coming up this weekend, I am home most of today, manana, i am either going to a BURP meeting or brewing and expect to be home sunday. Let me know if your coming up, of course i have some cold ones for tasting purposes. PM me and i will give u more info.

I work a couple blocks from here and have emailed/called them, but they don't open until 11am. I take the subway to work normally, but I can potentially drive in and coordinate a pickup of multiple carboys if they have plenty available.

I stopped in to Carafe Wine Makers in Alexandria, VA yesterday. Picked up some of the $10 carboys they had. (CL ad no longer posted.) They are staying open until the end of the month. There were still 15 or so left after I got my 6. They also had 5 gal. plastic ferm buckets with lids for $3 ea. They were very professional & made the process easy.

Sounded like they were very surprised by the number they sold & how fast they are going. So if you plan to pick a few up, you might want to hurry. I took my family & we made a day trip out of it. Visited DC & scored some cheap homebrew equipment.

anyone have the contact info. We are heading down to VA this week and would love to grab some

I spoke with the proprietor, Lamar, picked up a few extra carboys and chatted with him a bit. Very nice guy, he was definitely surprised by the interest the craigslist ad received and how many were beer brewers. If you are making a special trip, he may very well hold some for you.

They are located fairly close to the King St. Metro station as well. I suppose it would be a pain to carry carboys, walk & take the train, but for someone that wants to sightsee in DC while there, it proves helpful. We actually took the Van Dorn St. Metro into DC however because they have a park & ride, but that was only a 10 min drive from them.

Hopslam, if you end up getting some I could use a carboy and 1 or 2 buckets. I also live in Richmond - Byrd Park area. Let me know

Called and they are holding 4 for me to pick up on Thursday will bring them back to Richmond. Will also see if they have buckets for you.

SCORE, my cousin picked up 7 for me last night. Thanx for the tip, we were just about to get a couple more buckets too.

Awesome to see you guys score some good stuff. Working together to help each other out as well just thrills me.
Cheers fellas
