Thanks Jeremy, if that's cool with you I would like to take the keg. Gets me up to 9 (well 7 that work, two really need some work). Thanks again. I will bring some cash to the next meeting or we can meet another time to exchange.

I'll bring them with me to the meeting and leave them in the car. They'll be dirty and I haven't really looked at all of them closely

That will leave me with 7 total and 2 sanke's. I'm planning on following a guide to ferment under pressure with the sanke's and may start collecting more of those as time goes on. Just need to put together the spunding valve and get me a keg tap or two. Anyone have a good source for that? I suppose one can disassemble the pump portion that most stores have on their taps, but want to buy it online if i can.

MG, I've got a couple of Sanke connectors if that is what you are looking for. I can't make it to the meeting this month but you can swing by and pick them up or we can meet somewhere.

If you ever decide to use your sanke's for serving, you can get couplers at Rapids. I have one and it works well. It was just a little over $20.

That's pretty much what I need to setup the system for pressure fermentation! Thanks for the heads up.

Just an FYI to those who bought kegs.

I cleaned most of the ones I had, and tested them out with some pressure and cleaned all of the lines. Didn't have to take a part any of the fittings or anything.

A little oxyclean and a brush took care of the mud on the outside.

Hope everyone has the same experience!
