Looking to borrow a 23L carboy

Post by benwedge » Fri Apr 15, 2011 7:21 am

I'm doing an extra bit of brewing this week and I'm short a 23L carboy. I'm wondering if anyone could spare one for about two weeks starting Monday. I'm actually going on vacation from Thursday until May 4th, so I'd be kegging the beer from that carboy a day or two after I get back. Thanks in advance.

I might have one, but I'd have to bring it up on Saturday afternoon.

I've got one you can use. Are you going to the H&T on Saturday? I could bring it then.

I'm out of town until Monday morning. If anyone has one on/near the peninsula I'm fine with driving around to pick it up Monday evening. I'll have a car next week. I started a brew so that I won't come home from vacation to an empty keg.

There was one in my parking garage. Abandoned beside the dumpster. I'll see if its still there when I get back home a little later.

Awesome! Thanks. Could I swing by Monday evening to grab it?

In case you still need one, I have a bunch that I am not using at the moment.

Sure, just be sure to call first as I'll be running errands throughout the day.

My grandfather has stopped making wine at home and now goes to one of those shops that does a lot of it for you. Result? Two primaries and two secondaries in great shape have been donated to me, and my capacity has effectively doubled! The bottom line is I won't need to borrow a carboy anymore, and may actually have one or two for lending out much of the time.
