This is killing me

Thanks to everyone, this has all been very helpful.

 

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?

 

+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?
