Since Im waiting....waiting....waiting.....

I am trying to get my keg prepared. I have an empty co2 bottle, but cannot find anywhere locally that will fill it! I only found 3 places that even sell co2, but they only do tank exchanges, and only 1 of them has the 5lb size! They want $30. Seems high to me. What are you all paying for a tank exchange?

A second bottling bucket with spigot should cost under $25 and will be well worth it over the years you can use it. It will allow you to ferment one batch in the bucket you now have and a second one in the large carboy.

+1 to that. I did the same thing. Got my first batch going in the 6.5gal carboy and doing a second in a brewbucket I picked up for $12. I'll keep the
bottling bucket with a spigot free for bottling. Maybe even get another bucket.
My wife might start to question my need for so much beer though Not that that will stop me.

I've noticed that a lot of liquid has drained out of my airlock. Should I be concerned?
