We knew it was coming, but still sucks. I learned a lot just chatting with those guys. Closest to me now is up in Mass and that’s strictly a pre order and pickup shop, no browsing and ending up with stuff I really didn’t need.

Crap. Okay thanks. I’m looking for short ones. Like 2”

How long are the shanks?

How ironic, same issue with mine just yesterday. I ended up giving it a good smack like Fonzie and it’s been whirling away. I haven’t used it in about a year so maybe slight corrosion or who knows.

Good morning, did you find out anything more on using a water chiller? I also found one here on market place (active aqua name brand). @Deadalus Thanks, Paul

That really sucks. Thanks for the note. I haven’t been brewing as much with so many decent breweries around, but I need to stop in and see if they are still surviving. Maybe buy a few sacks.

Sorry for your loss, but good to know Anvil provides screens. I can’t imagine dealing with alibaebay with a cheepo company. I sealed mine with silicone around the face last year and so far good to go. Heard they started sealing them from the factory, but can’t confirm. Keep us updated on...

Thanks guys! I’m going to try and support my local shop again, which has also been fairly wiped out lately - but If not, Ritebrew seems like my next go to as they actually list quantities on hand. Fascinating concept!

Case closed. Emailed again asking for an update with the option of please update, or give me a refund. Refund landed in my account with an email stating nationwide delays. Would have rather had my order, or an “your order is delayed” weeks ago, but I guess it is what it is.

I initially did send a text, and received nothing back. Then I tried calling that number and it goes to a completely different company. Still waiting....

Still nothing today on the 12th. Ordered the 30th, but I’ll give a few days for the 4th of July weekend. Opened a case with PayPal for a refund. Hate doing that to companies I’ve supported for years but life happens, and being a grumpy old man I want my supplies. Not like I’m ordering...

Agreed, a heads up would have very beneficial. Appreciate your response.

Anyone hear anything about why these guys being MIA? Place an order last week and no updates. All phones numbers I found either are wrong, only play a message, or just auto hang up. Bit irritating as they’ve been my online go to for years. Even the retail locations aren’t answering the...

Kegs can be a huge pain. But once you get them dialed in they will serve you for years. Like the others said make sure your consumables (orings, poppets) look good and use keg lube. And once you have them matched and not leaking never pull more than one apart at a time for cleaning, or at...
