Should I snatch up this deal??

[Lodovico]

I've been wanting to get into kegging for awhile now. I already have a full size fridge in the basement ready for the job.

My LHBS owner has set aside some used equipment and is giving me 2 weeks to decide if I want it before he puts it out on the regular sales floor for $50 more than he's asking from me.

I would get a 5# CO2 tank that was just inspected and filled, a dual gauge regulator, a pin lock cornie that was just pressure tested, and all of the lines and a picnic tap for $118. This sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

For $118 I would have everything I need to keg the 5 gallons of Special Bitter that is almost done. It's exciting to think I could have kegged beer in my basement within a week.

Is this a pretty good deal??

That is not bad at all, not fantastic but your not getting ripped off. Great way to start kegging I say go for it, but it's not my money

Snag it.

Snag for sure, then he will have you hooked and sooner than you think you will have eight or ten cornies...........

If a business is going to hold something for you, you must know them or friends with someone there. Buy it and keep buying from them. That's a pretty good offer for a store to do. It'll build great relationships.

good deal.....I think I spent close to double that on my keg setup.

That is a really good offer for a store. The cheapest I have seen online is 150.00 for the same set up. And that is not with shipping.

Not a bad deal, but check and see if he has more pin-lock kegs available later on! You're going to want more than one, and they are a little harder to find than ball-lock kegs. Sometimes you can find them (I think kegconnection.com has them), but a local suppler is awesome!

Just guessing here but...

reg 50
tank 50
gas 12
cornie 25
connectors 12
tubing 5
pic tap 5

Total 159

Yea, unless you can score a deal below market somewhere else, it is a pretty decent deal.
