Two weeks ago, I teach my friend Tom to homebrew. A week later, someone comes in to his pizza place, sees the fermentor and asks him "if he's interested in some brewing stuff I have". So, Tom gets a delux Bierhaus brewing kit, unused, for $30 and a large pizza. Two 7 gallon buckets, lids, bubblers, hydrometer, siphon, capper, caps, etc. And two extract kits.
He decides to build a keggerator. Someone gives him a working 17 cu. ft. frig, FREE. The local brewing supplier tells him there aren't any used cornies around anymore, new ones are $110. I'm on my way to Joel's place in Corvallis for makings & say I'll check. Joel has 300 used cornies! So, I come back with 4 used cornies @ $25 each. Did I mention Joel has tested these kegs AND throws in a gasket kit for each?
I drive back to the Holy Canolli. Damned if someone hasn't dropped off a new 6.5 gallon glass carboy for Tom, because "I've got five and only use three."
There Ain't No Justice!
