Group Buy: Accuflex Bev-Seal Ultra barrier line

[outside92129]

Hi All,

Here's the list as i have it now. Posted 7/28/2011 at 7:40am Pacific Time. Let me know if i made a mistake, i missed anyone, if anyone wants to add, or if there are any quantity changes. I grouped folks in order of purchase and also by 1000' sections, that's also the order i'll cut/box/ship them in too. Folks at the end, you're good to go even though we don't an even roll committed to. I'll eat the cost for now, i'm sure there will be some stragglers in the next week hitting me up for some line.

[garbs]

Wow...that's a lot of tubing.

Thanks for putting this all together for us!

 

[maager]

Thank you!

 

[BrewNinja1]

Ill take 200 Feet if I can still get in. Just let me know.

 

[CidahMastah]

Let us know the damage, and we will get money out to you. Paypal?

 

[XPLSV]

If I can get in on this, put me down for 200'. I've been using the 1/4" that I installed this past week on the first line in my kegerator and the stuff has very low resistance. Started with 25' of line and it was still coming through too fast. Just put in a 5" inline restrictor last night and that has slowed it down to where it should be...but the 3/16" is probably what I need.

PM sent.

The line is ordered! However APEX hasn't given the shipping cost yet. Once i get that i'll have a final price for everyone.

awesome

 

[JohnTheBrewist]

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to put this together and for all the work that is yet to come! I certainly don't mind paying a couple bucks extra for your handling...

 

[valkyrie]

Agreed, thank you, your efforts are much appreciated.

 

[yessri]

THANKS!!!!!

 

[emjay]

Damn, wish I had seen this earlier. Would have been in for 200'

 

[atoyot]

Awesome, thanks for putting this together!

 

[jsguitar]

I'm sorry I missed this too. If anyone organizes another or if someone doesn't pay I'd be interested in 100'.

 

[CidahMastah]

IF YOU MISSED THIS BUY - email KC with interest

ans all interested others....

I talked to kegconnection about stocking this line in the 3/16 size when this order started.

Todd told me he plans on buying a reel and seeing how it goes, especially after I told him that we bought 3 rolls in less than three days on here. I would check their site out in the near future, or shoot an email into them to encourage the purchase. I like the group buy, but it would be great if they stocked it as well.

Todd did tell me he would let me know when he got it in, but I know how busy things can get so I am sure he could already have it by now.

 

[outside92129]

we do have some extra. PM if interested. We ended up buying 6 rolls.

Just what I wanted to hear!

Now I only wish I was able to take advantage of the numbering or color-coding

 

[IrregularPulse]

still no shipping cost?

 

[outside92129]

No, sorry everyone. APEX hasn't given me a final price yet. Funny thing is that I called Accuflex and they already dropped shipped the packages to me. ETA Monday(8/8). I have some work/kid things to do monday-weds, i'm hoping to have the first set of tubings out the door by 8/13.

 

[XPLSV]

With 40+ pf us on the list, I was thinking the free priority mail boxes from the post office might be the most convenient way for you to ship. I think 100 and 200 foot coils will fit in them and the price difference between priority and parcel post really isn't much. You wouldn't have to mess with buying boxes that way and I'm guessing most of us are paying with Paypal, which would make printing a label easy. Just some thoughts.

[outside92129]

Thanks for the suggestion XPLSV, i'll check out the local USPS tomorrow. We're at 44 buyers at the moment and anything that reduce SWMBO's irritation at anything beer related is key! They'll be a lot of boxes around here until i get everything back out the door, my first order of business will be to convince her that only 1.6% of the line is for me.

I don't really know what 100ft of line looks like though or what size box it'll take to ship it. Anyone have some line they can use to estimate?

do you have any outdoor 12g power cords? I bet that is pretty close to the size comparison you are looking for. the 100ft 12g HD cord I have is coiled up on a reel (maybe 14'' diameter and 3.5-4 inches thick) - it barely fits. I bet a box that would hold those dimensions or slightly larger since the beer line coil is more ridgid. I would only grab a couple of each size box until you nail the best candidate.


Totally get where you are coming from about convincing her its not all yours. When I did the first grain buy, my wife was watching me like a hawk to see how many of the 42 sacks of grain were mine! haha

 

[outside92129]

Well shucks, the line arrived today, all 6 boxes. The funny thing is that i haven't been billed yet since the reseller hasn't been able to get the drop shipping costs from Accuflex. The reseller says he'll know early next week but is estimating $20-$30/box, which is $0.02-$0.03/ft prorated. I can start shipping line tomorrow via USPS large-flat rate if you want to use the formula to pay now:

$0.1576/ft (line cost) + $0.03/ft (drop ship to me) + $14.95 (USPS flat rate to you, $10.95 for 100ft)

which comes out to:
$29.71 for 100ft
$43.09 for 150ft
$52.47 for 200ft
$61.85 for 250ft

You can also wait until next week to get the exact pricing, it may come down $1 per order. 100ft ships in USPS medium flat rate, it barely fits. 150ft+ requires the large flat rate box.

PM me for my personal e-mail to paypal-gift me, i'm just a little sensitive about privacy and hackers and whatnot. I'll need the following:

• Home Brew Handle/login (what i've been using to track your orders)
• name
• address
• email

And when you send payment please do it as a gift. Otherwise i get screwed and have to pay a commission to paypal. Feel free to add to the SWMBO flower fund, i'm overdrawn on the brownie points and will need something to ease the... well, she'll find out tonight what i've been up to with ya'll : )

************
update on boxes: none of the local USPS locations have the large thin-flat rate boxes, only the large-short fat ones. I ordered 40 of them two weeks ago and they haven't arrived, should be here soon but folks waiting for 150ft and up may have to wait a few more days.

 

[Boleslaus]

Any extra left...still interested in some here.

 

[emjay]

Speaking of which, am I down for 200 or 250? I pm's you a little while back about possibly making it 250, but never heard back

 

[outside92129]

Sorry emjay- i thought i responded. You got the entire 250.

[Boleslaus]

Awesome! Thanks for doing this. Just curious but does that account for the entirety? If not I'd be willing to take some more. I tried my blonde ale for the first time tonight...came back 2 hrs later after dinner, and its already tasting like it was dry hopped with plastic!

 

[emjay]

*Looks* like there's an extra 100

 

[Boleslaus]

Haha should have added. What do you think the length required to run 10-12 psi will be. 20 ft.? I want 3 taps that can handle between 4-10 psi, and one that can do up to 20 psi, for when I serve my weizen.

 

[emjay]

20 feet may be about right.

I'm planning on 2 soda taps, at least 1 cider tap, and maybe 5 beer taps, which is why I went with 250 - $10 more to be on the safe side is a no-brainer to me. The 2 soda taps alone will probably take close to 100 feet.

Plus, a great deal of the beers I make are highly carbonated - a lot of Belgians, sours, wheats, etc, and not so big on brewing the British beers (though I DO like them). So I'm thinking I'll probably need a fair bit of line.
