I've had two sankey kegs in my garage attic for years and they need to go. $40 for both. Spears have been removed so they're ready for conversion to keggles. Pickup only in Indianapolis / Broad Ripple area.

Harumph. Once again unnecessarily sweating the details. Thanks for reminding me of that.

I had intended to use my RO water for calibrating equipment like my electronic hydrometer and table-top refractometer. Is my RO water (about 9 ppm tds according to the meter assuming it's calibrated correctly) "good enough" for that or should I have invested in a ion exchange column as a 4th...

I certainly understand that it does lengthen RO membrane life, just trying to determine if the ends justify the means for my use case (< 300 gallons per year). I suppose if I have some pex & fittings laying around I should just do it. That'll be another few hours filled that I'd otherwise be...

I recently purchased a 3-stage RO system from @Buckeye_Hydro (absolutely fantastic company to deal with) and am wondering if there will be an appreciable difference in membrane life or output water quality if I feed it with softened water rather than unsoftened muni water. Here in Indianapolis...

Gone!

Three 7-gallons fermonsters. Two have never been used. Purchased locally and ended up switching to stainless fermenters. All three for $40. Local pickup only in Broad Ripple area.

We bought a walk-in cooler at auction which had three 1/2 kegs in it. I can't find a liquor store to take them back without tracking sticker. Local pickup in Indianapolis only (seriously, the deal is for all four kegs). Near 16th & College. $100 OBO. They'll need a good cleaning!

You need nutrients, specifically some nitrogen -- DAP would do that for you, also a teaspoon of mag sulphate (epsom salts), and a few crushed up multivitamins. I'd pitch a few more packets of the yeast. Better yet, get some EC-1118 at your LHBS as it has better tolerance for unpleasant conditions.
