Now you got my curiosity up. I got my 5 gallon carboy from an old wine maker over 30 years ago and I'm sure it wasn't close to new then. Can't check for dates cause right now it's fermenting some American wheat.

Maybe off topic, but if you use the $8 shipping you won't get it in 3-5 days. It will probably take 4 days before they ship,IME. Good products though.

We saw that contraption at the AB-Inbev convention back in October in New Orleans. It actually worked good but the cost of the equipment and the cups would turn off a lot of retailers. They had several units around the convention center and they always drew a crowd.

FWIW, I kegged a brown ale Saturday about 1:00 pm at 30 psi and tried one today at about 5:00 pm after dropping the pressure to 12 psi and it had a nice creamy head and decent carbonation and actually tasted pretty good. Hoping it will be better by Christmas.

It takes a special flat washer. The inside of the faucet is grooved for this washer and I doubt you can find anything else that would work as well.

What's all that crud inside the tower?

Yeah, they are outrages. I have bought a few cans of lme but that is about it. I'm in the beer business so I get all my chemicals and draft equipment cheap (free).

Cool Stuff, 8th and Broadway, Columbia Mo. It's about all ya got in mid-mo.

Lets see those old beer fridges. Mine is an old Sears keg fridge my parents bought in 1968. I inherited (stole) it when they divorced in 1977 and have been using it ever since then. Hundreds of 1/4 bbls and still going strong. http://

No, not true. We have plenty in our wharehouse.

48 seems to be my average. I probably leave too much in the fementer and bucket to keep out the sludge if that makes any sense. Also my wand dribbles a little, but hey, I'm getting up in years. :mug:

I just generally follow the instructions when using a kit.

I rinse my bottles after I drink them. When I bottle another batch I rinse them out with BTF. Put them on the the dishwasher rack and let them drain. Fill em up and cap them. No problems yet. I get all the bottles and chemicals I need from work, (AB wholesaler):mug:

Yes, dry yeast. Here's a picture. [/IMG]
