Find a place to refill, don't exchange. You're throwing away money!
Yup. Good work sir.
Find a place to refill, don't exchange. You're throwing away money!
I usually hit up the uhaul place near my house for the refill about its 17 dlls but since exchanging it was much much closer and only 21 it made more sense.
I've been told those exchanges are only 75% filled, whereas when you refill it's 100%, so it makes the savings even greater. Also if you have a Tractor Supply Co. check them out because they're significantly cheaper for refills than my local uhaul.
Man I really am throwing away money with the exchange. I'll look into the tractor supply, hopefully there is one near by. Do they also sell new tanks for cheap?
When you think this is a good use for the the light yellow fizzy comercial beers...
But how would you know when someone pee'd in the pool? It all tastes the same
This is why you have TWO tanks. One in use, and a full one on standby.You know you're a home brewer when you run out of propane right before hot break and have to call a cab to get your tank exchanged.
Your wife is gone and you're too lazy to cook or go out for dinner so you figure a bowl of buttered noodles is the ticket. For the first time in your life you think of things like water additions, boil off rate and "mash thickness" as you boil the noodles.
brewing too much beer

Craigslist is the place for buying tanks. You'll just buy the ones that people would normally exchange. Pretty easy to find em for less than $20. Not bad considering you can't buy a "new" one at the exchange for less than like $20.
I'll look into Craigslist I could use a few extra tanks. I always have that paranoia that imma run out of gas mid boil.
When you read about people's propane woes and feel grateful to have stumbled upon the electric brewery.
I have one that I get refilled and I have one of the exchange tanks. That way I always have a spare and I can always get a refill. Even if I run out of gas during and brew day and can't get my tank refilled, I can go exchange a tank. I always keep my "good" tank and not trade it in.
When the most prominent item in your living room is a rack of brewing supplies, you have ferment buckets on your kitchen floor, and the spare bedroom has carboys of homebrew clearing in secondary.
The joys of being single!
Sounds like a good system. So there's tank you can only refill?
I have had 3 major joint surgeries, those things are sweet to keep you from freezing to death after surgery! Dang operating rooms are always 50 degrees and a hospital gown is not exactly warm...
Man I wish.... I have two 230 v 30 amp sockets available to me just aching for an electric system. Maybe once i get some funds together. Just out of curiosity how much was your electric set up?
