HoppyGus you should have a tracking number already.

I'll take them only if the others don't need them as I'm not in a hurry either.

 

[williamnave]

Just a question, I missed this round

How did you pull this off? I would be very interested in knowing the source/method if you don't mind sharing....after all you said you're not doing it again.

 

[Flomaster]

method =
Find some one selling a "lot" of kegs for a good deal.
make post here on HBT and offer good deal to HBT members
drive 400 miles total and 8 hours of your own time and gas
box and ship out all kegs
???????
profit...not so much


my suggestion is to call around to beverage distributing outfits. find out what the local bar or restaurant uses for their beverage soda. call that company up and see if they have any for sale.

[humann_brewing]

from az to ca is two days. you should be getting the kegs today.

-=Jason=-

sounds about right, just would be nice if UPS updated that info. It is scheduled for tomorrow so I'm not sweating anything

 

[Frodo]

3 minutes ago mine were scanned as arrived in Sacramento. I really haven't been checking every few minutes... They're on the home stretch now!

 

[Flomaster]

hopefully I can get the last few sent out today. just a matter of getting boxes.

@AZ_IPA I will be in Phx on Weds 23rd of this month. I Fly out to Texas on Tues and Fly back weds. I could drop them off some there that day. just let me know.

Yup. I thought it wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, but my tracking number shows that the thing arrived in Raleigh in the middle of the night and is "out for delivery" right now. It should be waiting for me when I get home.

You rock, Jason!

 

[Stimulus]

Man that's so weird. My tracking number still says that they're in Arizona, but that they're on time to be here tomorrow.

 

[jakecpunut]

Got my tracking # yesterday and didn't have a chance to say THANK YOU Jason! Looking forward to getting the kegs!

 

[Flomaster]

I wonder if this crazy Weather has UPS all messed up on the tracking number system.

[celticcolorado]

I just received my kegs and they look great. Jason you rock!

 

[jeffmeh]

My first shipment left Buffalo this morning, for delivery tomorrow.

 

[Delorean1981]

Edit: Stopped on Boardwalk..

 

[Frodo]

Jason, are you still taking orders via paypal? If so, what was the address again?

I hope that's a joke. NO MORE KEGS. NO ROUND 3. DO NOT COLLECT $200.

 

[h22lude]

I wasn't able to take part in this great offer. It was great that the OP was able to save people money and supply all those kegs.

Since there are no more kegs available and the OP keeps getting questions about more kegs, I think we should let this thread die out and not keep having people ask the OP for more kegs.

I know, I know me posting this moves the thread back up but I think if we all stop posting on it, the thread will move down and the OP will hopefully stop getting PMs and emails for more kegs. Seeing as he wrote in big red letters that he is out and no more will be coming.

Just a thought

 

[Flomaster]

H22lude, I have 5 more HBT members kegs to ship out. once thats done I doubt it will be getting bumped again.

I thought about shipping after I posted it.

I was just trying to stop the PMs and emails going to you. I can only imagine hoe many you got and keep on getting from people that don't read.

seems like I got into the game just a little too late :/

I started the thread at 11:30am and was sold out by 1:45PM

record time to sell out of a group buy???


-=Jason=-

 

[cfonnes]

But would you do it again know what you know now?

 

[kpr121]

UPS says mine was delivered this afternoon! I can't wait to get home to check them out... I'm giddy like a schoolgirl.

 

[BoxofRain]

Awesome, Jason. My wife signed for it and it was packaged in a Kohler box. She thought it was something for a DIY project! Nice cammo dude!

 

[ezzieyguywuf]

Just got mine about 1 hr ago! Woot woot! So what's a good way of cleaning these? (on the inside)? Maybe fill them with a water-bleach solution?

Definitely NOT BLEACH. Just soak them with oxyclean and you should be good.

 

[ezzieyguywuf]

I don't have any oxyclean :-/ or PBW, w/e that stuff is.

 

[cincybrewer]

I don't have any oxyclean :-/ or PBW, w/e that stuff is.

buy some generic oxyclean at your nearest dollar store or the private label brand at your nearest grocery store. about 1/3 of the price.

 

[Flomaster]

Buy some generic crap at the dollar store. them buy some tsp cleaner from ace hardware.

Mix two teaspoons oxy to one teaspoon tsp.

Here is the stuff http://www.google.com/m/products?source=mog&hl=en&gl=us&client=ms-android-verizon&q=lundmark tsp

hot water, and replace all orings

Alrighty, thanks for the suggestions guys. Is replacing the o-rings something you would consider compulsory or optional? I mean, its holding CO2 now right?
