Very excited to get into brewing, and currently have 1 batch in primary, with 3 more ingredient kits in the mail. I really want to do a secondary fermentation, so found a guy on Craigslist selling all his stuff. I think I got a great deal just buying all his stuff, but was hoping for a second opinion, and help ID'ing the CO2 tank size.
I got:
2x glass carboys (5 gal)
1x pin connector 5 gal keg
3x ball connector 5 gal keg
1x mystery co2 tank with regulator
24x bottles
All for $100 cash, which seems like a great deal. Anyways, I wanted the C02 tank to someday move toward kegging, and didn't realize he was also throwing in some kegs to the deal. So, I'm thinking of going straight to keg with my first batch as soon as it's ready.
Can you folks tell what size this tank is from the pictures, and can you tell how much gas is left in it? I know tanks need to be recertified after 5 years, and I couldn't really see a date, so perhaps I need to do that too?
Definitely needs some new lines and cleaning, but appears to be in good shape.
Thanks!
