So...I splurged last night with the approval of SWMBO...

[Stevorino]

I already have 12 cornies, a gas tank, regulator, keezer, faucets, and shanks....then last night I bought $450 worth of other keg stuff, including:

1 5-way secondary regulator
5 flare pin lock bev out
5 flare pin lock gas in
4 flare ball lock bev out
4 flare pin lock gas in
20 Clamps
60 ft bev tubing
40 ft gas tubing
flares for 10 tubes
line cleaner
hop bags for boil


I haven't been this stoked since tasting my first All-Grain Batch!!! HIYOOO!

All new, or was this a craigslist/other score?

At any rate congrats.

Real question is,

Did she approve before or AFTER the order was placed.

"Wow. That stuff got here fast. We just talked about it yesterday and it says it came from England"

 

[MoRoToRiUm]

25% restocking fee and cost of shipping!?!? Ok, I guess you can keep it...

Never too much beer paraphernalia! If you need to make some space, you know where to send the excess

 

[Stevorino]

All new-- Mostly from Morebeer. I got the regulator from Kegworks new and I forgot to mention the orings and gaskets to replace all 12 of my kegs from HighGravityHomebrew.

She is allowing $200 to come from the shared checking account -- everything else is from my "Fun Money".

It was much needed, Right now I don't really have an easy/convenient system for using my keezer and it was starting to look pretty nasty in there. Looking forward to giving it the much needed makeover!

When you're married you have to get permission? Guess Ill never bother then!!

But seriously, way to go!! Im doing it the other way around, I did the kegerator build before moving to all grain, but thats what this Christmas is for!

No, but you discuss major purchases with your partner out of respect which I'm sure is what the OP meant.

Isn't this the woman that you suspect has posted here for keg advise ? Are you spoiling her surprise?

 

[DUCCCC]

Wanna trade SWMBOs? I'll throw in a Homelite 16" chainsaw and a First Gen Xbox!

Not her- the second post came while my SWMBO was napping, haha.

The woman actually drinks just about as much homebrew as I do-- so usually she's cool with purchases. But like Nurmey said, it's both of our money so major purchases are usually discussed.

I'll post pics when it's all done

Maybe your wife and mine should hang out so she can convince mine to let me spend some scrilla on some supplies. Man do i like supplies!!!!

Every man who lives with a woman learns,

"It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission".

Which is why I called mine from the highway after signing on the dotted line for my bassboat. She'd already told me that I couldn't have it. Turned out I bought a boat and 3 days of silence! Sort of like the mastercard commercial
Skeeter bass boat-$13,000
Wicker furniture for porch--$300
Steak dinner---$75
3 days of silent treatment--PRICELESS!
(items 2 and 3 in the list were after she started talking to me again. LOL)

Of the Keezer? Or your wife?

I'd never thought of that - the silent treatment as a bonus! Brilliant!
