Rask who?

 

[j1laskey]

It was less than 30 days.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

So somewhere between 1 and 29?

 

[j1laskey]

Approximately somewhere between there

Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS
Wow what profanity!!

 

[day_trippr]

You took a wrong turn at St. Louis...

Week of mourning. D'Angelo's and Papa Gino's went into sudden bankruptcy.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Master]

Of course they'd close the one at the Transportation building. That was the only one in walking distance of the layover hotel we use in Boston.

 

[day_trippr]

Huh, living out in the boonies I thought they all closed.
But I see there's a list...which closes all of the boonie locations...

 

[day_trippr]

Just thinking...petition Forum Management to order the regions in the Brewing Events & Local Gatherings section according to activity level. Some of those regions are almost moribund by comparison - and refugees keep showing up here! We deserve top billing!

 

[Master]

Yeah. It was nice. We stay at the Park Plaza, I'm usually on a quick turn so it's go to hotel, change clothes, eat, go to bed. It was close enough to walk in 10 minutes or less.

Not a lot of cheap/quick places in the immediate area.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Oh! Mike & Patty's is a good place to get a quick bite to eat.

 

[day_trippr]

fwiw, ran over to DMI Gases in Hyde Park and got my beer gas on.
Folks working there were cool and I was in and out in under 10 minutes with my cylinder refilled...

Cheers!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Shiny?

 

[day_trippr]

Of course. What kind of slob trades a shiny silver paint job for a beater anyway?

 

[Dland]

I use a less CO2 now that I spund. Often it works out as partial spund, ie I keg and seal before all worked out, and in the case of lagers, D rested, sometimes have to force carb the last 20-30% to get to desired vols.

Still have multiple co2 20#ers though, I have to swap, as it is small airgas dealer or a boat trip,,,(dread,... not the boats, per say, but being on the ferries some times of year,,,,moooo,,,and that does the cows a disservice) at least the dudes that work at the exchange usually let me pick the cylinder myself. It really does not matter of course, but the AL ones are a bit lighter, which is nice.

I could get all my tanks refilled in new beigh..but can not bring acetylene tanks over without committing serious infraction, not worth it with commercial license...can not even plead ignorance, as if that would help.

Hey look, it is finally past my turn in time, my gal the dairy worker has been crashed for a while anyway, will wake me up by mistake at 5. Good evening my drugen bros and sises.

Cape, apparently.

 

[Cape Brewing]

I don’t swap tanks. A truck comes and fills mine.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

If how shiny your CO2 tank is that important to you.... you’re doing it wrong.

I’ve switched out a ton of tanks... sometimes you get a beater, some times you get a brand new tank without a scratch on it. I think this notion that Airgas is hording all the new shiny tanks and passing out crappy looking, about-to-expire tanks in exchange is goober-ish.

What? Does Airgas just have huge room of shiny new tanks Scrooge McDuck style? “They’re OURS!!! ALLLLLLLL OURS!!!! Muaaaa ahahahahaha!!!!”

I don’t swap tanks. A truck comes and fills mine.

Oh, do tell. (

 

[Cape Brewing]

I don’t get it

 

[Cape Brewing]

In the past I have switched out a ton of tanks. Now I have a 450 lb tank that is a tad tough to switch out... so CO2 gets delivered

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I don’t get it

That's what she said.

Of course you get CO2 deliverd to the brewery. I'm just busting your chops, or at least I think I am.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Oh

 

[Dland]

"we looked by the yard chairs, we looked by the grills, we couldn't find lawn darts come high water or hills".....

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I don't keg much, just for an annual party and home brew club events, so a 5lb talk lasted me over a year. I picked up a 2.5 for a backup. The 5er finally ran out and I took both for a refill at a shop giving 10% off and the bill was $50. I damn near fell over, the small one was nearly as much as the bigger one.

 

[day_trippr]

Mookie!

 

[Dland]

Just paid $39 to swap a 20# CO2, and that on a much smaller island than the long one.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Clearly for me the fill is more expensive than the gas. When my tanks get older I'll trade them, that might cost less. They are still shining...
