Got a bunch of beers in kegs that I brewed in 2010-2011.  I've been going through them tonight.  Some good, some not so good.  A couple of dumpers, a couple to give to a friend and a couple of keepers.  Out of 12 kegs, only 2 legit dumpers, maybe 3.  Not bad for sitting 3-4 years.  The RIS from 2010 and smoked porter from 2011 are actually pretty darn good.  :)

 

Getting the itch to brew again, too.  The GF is kind of pushing me in that direction, which is helping the process.  Maybe one of these days I'll actually finish one of these new brewery projects that I get started.  Put a little dent in a 2 gallon system earlier this year, but that's been sitting.  Who knows, maybe it will happen, maybe it won't, but I'm thinking about it again.  :scratch:

 

On another note, corny kegs keep going up in price.  I could probably buy a new car if I sold all the ones I have now.  $75 for a converted pin lock on morebeer?  WTF?

Prices on brew stuff is going crazy. I've bought a lot of used gear over the years. I could probably make a profit but then how would I brew?

Anything stainless. Sankes used to be $25, asking prices are about $100.

 

$2450 for this?? https://chicago.crai...4618260058.html

$2500 for a partially finished brewstand is a little crazy.  He'll be lucky to get $1000 for that IMO.

Agreed. Even this seems pricey and it's complete and ready to go https://www.homebrew...on-sale-486350/
