WTB: Corny Kegs & CO2

[Keith]

Looking to start piecing together what I need for my Keezer. On a budget to complete this, so figure I'd see if anyone has anything used, eventually want to build out to 4 taps, but am going to start with 2.

Things I'm looking for right now.
2 kegs
2 shank \ taps
10-20lb CO2 & regulator
4 way co2 manifold

I've looked on kijiji, however haven't seen anything. If you hear of anything, please let me know.

I have a 4-way CO2 manifold that I'll PM you about today.

For kegs on kijiji, you need to check often - they go quick once posted and are becoming a bit harder to find. Some guys were having luck on Moncton kijiji as well.

Check out both Everwood Ave Brewshop (local) and OBK for taps and shanks if you decide on new - both have excellent service.

[Araxi]

If I come across any here in Moncton I'll let you know.

This has worked well for me. It's like the alert option in Kijiji but it runs more frequently, up to every 15 min. Alerts are emailed to you.

Set up your searches well of you can end up spamming yourself!

I went to Noble Grape this evening as my smaller 5lb CO2 tank had run out. You take the old one back and pick up a new full one and it cost $22.49. It’s much cheaper than that by the pound if you have a bigger tank. That was with the Brewnoser discount (just tell them you are a Brewnoser).

I asked some questions about the Munich malt, and while they were making a phone call about the supplier and colour of it, I had a scout around the back at the ball lock Corny kegs, and they had some beautiful used kegs there with all the features I like, handle style on the lid, poppet valves that hadn’t been replaced with the universal ones that don’t work well as far as hooking up the connectors goes, they had been washed, in really good shape, they had the classic in and out posts that are easy to distinguish with the serrated gas post at the bottom. I haven’t taken them fully apart yet, but I think they might not even need new o-rings. I bought kegs before from them in nowhere near as good shape. They had trouble getting kegs for a while, and I think they might have found a new supplier.

Any way! I’m writing too much. They were $53.99 each (with Brewnoser discount) and I think that’s quite good. I was very pleased to bring them home to join the rest of the family.

...don't know if that helps you at all.

Good deal on the CO2, but I think that's robbery on the tanks. I guess it depends on the purchase price. Usually pretty low....

Thanks for the heads up on the tanks. Bit more than I was hoping to spend. But even if I get this Keezer going with 1 keg and build out I'll be happy haha.

[GillettBreweryCnslt]

Give me a couple of hours and I'll have something up in the store for you....

[GuingesRock]

Dave, I've been watching your site for signs of kegs coming in. Any news/progress?

I've been hunting for 5 gal ones like the OBK "economy" 2.5 gal ones. I find them to be really good quality and value. Or something similar to that...new and cheap and good quality.

[AllanMar]

OBK used to sell 5gal economy ones like the 2.5gal but did away with them for the ones they have now.

I think they were actually slightly more then the ones he has now. The 2.5Gal ones are nice, but IMHO the 5gal ones OBK has now are nicer.

I'm trying to get the kegs and kegorator kits up too, probably tonight or tomorrow. If not Monday for sure.

Thanks

You probably have better sources. I was comparing to price online where you have to also pay shipping, I thought it wasn’t too bad for a retail store. For example a used ball lock from OBK would cost me $69.99 including shipping, before taxes, and no Brewnosers discount available for that when I tried. It isn't OBK's fault they have to ship and shipping for a keg is expensive though. I strongly suspect they subsidize shipping costs also, especially since it says you can only buy one or two. That makes me think they might be providing customer service at a cost or a very small margin. I'm guessing margins for these are small ATM as they are in short supply.

[Keith]

I'm picking up my 4 kegs, CO2 and regulator tonight. Still looking for taps and shanks.

[GuingesRock]

I never moved beyond picnic taps (cobra taps), easy to clean, portable (you can take a keg on a picnic ) and very cheap.

I thought about that, but with the keezer, opening and closing frequently wouldn't be fun with a few friends over, plus it would look much cleaner and more presentable. Plus I'm planning on building a jockey box next year at some point to have avaialble for partys.

On a side note, I got a great deal. 10lb CO2 + Regulator, and 4 ball lock kegs for $200. Couldn't beat it.

[Keith]

Now I'm left to CO2 lines, Beer lines, gas\liquid ball locks and shanks\taps, and the keezer\kegerator (not sure which yet). CO2 I purchased came close to full which was great.
A few weeks and well... this is me.

Where do you get all that patience from? I did mine in a few hours. It was my birthday and my wife bought me an expensive sweater which didn’t fit. They never do fit because I am tall, so nothing out of the ordinary. I used that for leverage, took the sweater back, appeared to be very disappointed about the sweater, put on my Eeyore voice and said…"maybe we could see if there is anything in Noble Grape instead"…a few hours later I was all set up with kegs, CO2, picnic taps, lines and a temperature controller for the freezer…and a big grin on my face

...one of the best birthdays I ever had

[LiverDance]

That must have been some sweater!

I'm in a rush, but some things take time.
a) Kegs are empty. Need to fill them. (Honey Brown brewing now for the first keg)
b) Need to wait on the manifold which arrives next weekend.
c) Need to find a 7 cubic ft freezer that will hold 4 kegs for a fair price.

Also any idea where I can find a temp controller?

[Keith]

I'd need a Keezer too.

You're getting a fancy sweater AND a keezer

My brain thinks it’s supposed to read your signature every time because it’s in highlighted quote format. Gets me every time

[Keith]

bad thing is I read it myself. I think it may need to come out.

You need to go and see Dave! Great guy! Great prices! He doesn't sell sweaters!
