Update: Brad came by 3-29 and picked up 2 of the Avanti kegerators for Joe and Ray. I still have one more Avanti BD6000 left (no co2 tank or hoses) with a single tap tower but with tank holder in B+ shape that I'm letting go for $175! (Note this will not hold 1/2 barrels of Coors, but will hold 2-3...

I think I am going to drive out to riverside though since Morebeer is only about $30 per kit. Wish me luck! Two batches in one night. If anyone wa...

I know O'Sheas sells kits but can you but you buy whatever grain/hops/ and yeast you want? I relly don't want to drive to Riverside to go to More Beer but I guess I ...

Anybody know where I can find a used March 809 pump? Also does anyone have a good source for filtration systems?

Thanks!
Brandon

Thank you very much everyone. Very valuable information. I noticed some of you were talking about the pumps you have. I think that is going to be my next addition. Do you guys have any recomendations on what kind, how much, where to buy. Stuff like that. Also, how do you keep your pump clean and san...

Merry Christmas! To those of you brewing this month... Cheers!
