More kegs

[MightyCow9]

Hey guys. After this last weekend and brewing 15 gallons, kegging ten more and enjoying the few gallons of ginger ale that I have left I came to realize something.

I NEED MORE KEGS! oops. I have enough to put into kegs what I have brewed and then what!?

Anyone have 2-4 kegs lying around that they are looking to part with?

[Stubby]

I need about eight myself!! Help

[jayellis]

Obviously you're not inviting your friends to drink enough of your beer! :)

[TurboBrew]

Yeah, I can help you with your full keg problems.

[Stubby]

Ive been brewing bout 22 gals a weekend. Trying to get ready for a big Octoberfest party Im having and trying my hardest to just get ahead so I can actually let it age for a change instead of drinkin young beer haha! Typically the last beer in the Keg is the best!

[MightyCow9]

Good stuff. I am hoping to do a little Octoberfest deal too, but my problem was with moving... I didn't brew much in about two months and all be damned if all of my friends who came over to help didn't "help" about 15 gallons of beer go away!

I think right now CHI Company is about the least expensive if you order in bulk.

Buying 20 at a time gets you the kegs for 18.50 before shipping.

If there is enough interest we could purchase a pallet of 81 kegs, we have to have a state sales permit, but I'd be willing to bet that between all of us someone has one.

[gwbbc]

Lets get serious about a pallet order. I am sure I would be in for a few and I know John needs 2 or 3.

I have one.

[arkador]

I could be talked into 2 more kegs.

[Mr.C]

I could go for as many as 4.

[steve]

Put me down for at least two. One for Vicki, and one . . .

[gwbbc]

Guys, I count already approximately 30 kegs. A quick calculation and estimation would be roughly $20 a keg which is an excellent price. We would have to expect in a pallet that 10-15 would not be good. I heard someone is requesting a price quote. Once we determine a cost, we could then create a sign up sheet, contact NTHB, Horsemen and KOBB to get an order of 65 spread out the total cost and pre-pay so no one is carrying the cost and risk. Then we would have 16 first for parts in case anyone has a bad keg and if any usable kegs are left over then they can go towards the Christmas Party Raffle.

[Stubby]

At 20 bucks a keg I would be willing to buy 10. I think a buddy of mine would be down for 6 or so. Sounds like a good plan!

[jrs_52]

Like I need more stuff in my garage, but I'm thinking 5 would be a good number for me.

[Lumpher]

i'm up for 1-2 more

[gwbbc]

As soon as we can get a quote for the pallet and shipping, I will start a order list and we can arrange payment details, etc.

[Beerbabe]

I will go in for 6.

[JayMo]

I'll take 2

Jay

[MightyCow9]

Yeah i would go up to six at the 20 buck price. Looks like we may have enough on just the Cap and Hare list to make an order.

[chicompany]

As soon as we get a Resale # and info, we can quote a pallet of kegs.
We would need:
Shipping address,
Is it a residence or Commercial address,
Do you have a forklift or loading dock.

Thank you,
Matt
The CHI Company

[nickpgoodman]

Hi CHI Company. These would be delivered to a commercial location with a dock and a forklift would be available.

One of our members (also named Matt) has already emailed you his reseller info. I will let him chime in with specifics.

[BeerSawks]

I spoke with a sales rep this afternoon and should receive the quote tomorrow.

[gwbbc]

Its tomorrow. Come on quote

[BeerSawks]

Still checking my inbox. The rep said they had a long back log of e-mails but he would flag mine for today. There are 2 options on the kegs: 1. Cleaned and Pressurized
2. Uncleaned and As-is. I put in a request for both.

[arkador]

I would think clean and pressurized would probably be worth the extra couple dollars each.

[Stubby]

Any word on the estimate. I just paid 160 buck for 4. And sure need some more!

[nickpgoodman]

Kegs! Kegs! We want kegs!

[gwbbc]

Kegs! Kegs! We want kegs!

Matt, you are a slacker

[BeerSawks]

Just got off the phone with CHI and they said as soon as they get their e-mail problems worked out they will be getting our quote out.

excuses excuses excuses

[nickpgoodman]

I think they need an IT guy. I know a guy. (hint, ME! I'll work for kegs)

[jayellis]

or for beer??

[MightyCow9]

Will work for full kegs.

[Beerbabe]

*sigh*

[Beernurd2000]

Did you guys ever make the order or did you give up on it?

[BeerSawks]

I've called them several times over the past 3 weeks. They keep telling me that they are back logged on their e-mails and will get out a quote as soon as they can.

[Stubby]

We still have the option of going with the guy from kegconnection. Cause frankly the customer service for the Chi company sucks.

[pennelmore]

Who gets that many emails?!? 3 weeks worth and still nothing? Maybe for one of those websites where they show Blondes at Swimming Pools, but not Corny Kegs....

[gwbbc]

More Blondes by pools
More Blondes by pools
More Blondes by pools

[Lumpher]

i bought the remaining kegs i needed a couple days ago from someone else. got tired of waiting for chi to respond...

[Beernurd2000]

Have to agree with that. But I could use some kegs too. I think you should keep getting increasingly hostile...

[pennelmore]

That kitty looks increasingly hostile...

[jayellis]

a cat-astrophe... :D

[mwedge]

a cat-astrophe... :D

here we go again.

[Clint]

someone must have...


ruffled his fur...


causing a...


cat-niption...

[BeerSawks]

I have to say that if I encounter that in a dark alley, I'd go Cat-atonic.

[jayellis]

...felines...woah, wo-ah, felines...

:D

[pennelmore]

What have I done???? WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!!! :p

[nickpgoodman]

I think you let the cat out of the bag.

[BeerSawks]

You have definitely cat-apulted the thread in a whole other direction.

[Lumpher]

i'm not really sure what the cat-alyst was that drove this thread into the cat-aclysm stage..

[BeerSawks]

Ok, I finally got a quote back from the Chi Company.

$17 per keg. Roughly $200-$240 for shipping. Looking at about $20 per keg with shipping.

[Beerbabe]

I would still like at least 6.

[Stubby]

Are those cleaned and tested??

[BeerSawks]

Are those cleaned and tested??

Yeah, cleaned and pressurized. Are the ones you found?

[Stubby]

Sounds like a better deal then. He was wanting 25 for grade A cleaned and pressurized.

[gwbbc]

Ok. Lets organize a purchase and start collecting.

[Mr.C]

I'm still in for 4

[steve]

Vicki and I are in for two, plus 2 more for homebrewing cajun bro'-n-law. That makes four total for us.

[BigJohn]

I would like 2!

[Mr.C]

So are we going to try to put this together?

[BeerSawks]

As of right now the Chi company is filling orders (their big customers) for the last lot of used kegs by the pallet that they have. Until they work out a deal with a company that just got bought out, they can't take orders on pallets of used kegs.

[chicompany]

STILL........waiting for the Pepsi Franchise plant to release a batch of 4,000 kegs. HOPEFULLY we will have them by month's end.

don't know if these are still available, but if they are, go for it:

5 Cornelius Kegs - Soda, Homebrew - $100 (DFW)

I have 5 ball lock corny kegs with racetrack lids for $100 firm. If you don't know what a racetrack lid is, I can email you a photo. These are 5 gallon kegs just like any other, except the shape of the lids won't look exactly like your brew buddies. One may have a slight leak, but I'm pretty sure that one is in a different batch. I will check before we firm up.

[bassboy]

Put me down for 4 if we can get them for about $20 to $25 each

[TurboBrew]

Almost exactly one year later. Unfortunately, $20-25 kegs don't really exist anymore and the companies have no incentive to sell us a large quantity of kegs for below asking price so this idea got trashed a while back. :(

Edit: looks like Lumpher found a guy selling some cheap kegs.
