Banjoman Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 01/20/08 Posts: 1759 Loc: Great Beer State	Just received e-mails from Austin Homebrew Supply and Northern Brewer that they are offering 20 and 15 percent off their Better Bottle prices. Does anyone still have any expendable income left? _________________________ Paddle Faster....I Hear Banjo Music !!! I don't always talk to Ohio State graduates...

Bitter_Bob Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 10/28/08 Posts: 2802 Loc: Columbus, GA	I have a 6gal Better Bottle and LOVE it. I was given a 5gal glass carboy as a gift. But then for my birthday my mother-in-law bought me another 6gal plastic bucket and 2, 5 or 6gal glass carboys (can't remember the sizes). So if I didn't have all that, I'd definitely have jumped on this deal. It'd be worth it. _________________________ Brewing Since: 10/12/08 Fermenting: Wheat IPA Carbing: Ordinary Bitter Conditioning: Standard Lager, Vienna, MaiBock Drinking: Best Bitter, 1885 Scottish IP, Dry Stout, 80/-, Harp clone, Braggot On Deck: Scottish 60/-

Beklorn Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 09/28/10 Posts: 1034 Loc: Puyallup, WA	this is one of those times when sadly tax is cheaper than shipping and tax is about 10% here plus call me nuts but I prefer the heft of glass over plastic Edited by Beklorn (01/06/12 12:56 AM) _________________________ Warning to all: The longer the post the drunker I am

Strange Brew Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 02/27/09 Posts: 2175 Loc: Wisconsin	Darn,I will have some expendable income from my P.A.A. but not looking for a fermenter.I'm looking for either a grain mill of maybe jumping into kegging.I will come up short on the kegging equipment though. And Chunk,I have a 3 gal. glass carboy and love it,great for 1 case batches or Mr. beer size batches.

Brewmeister Dubbel Registered: 12/17/09 Posts: 12000 Loc: Brooklyn, NY	Originally Posted By: Stinkfist Damn that is cheap and very tempting the 6 month warranty is concerning though Yeah, exactly. But Adventures in Homebrewing is a great shop, and I doubt they'd sell it if they didn't believe in it. That said, I've been quite pleased with my Barley Crusher, and knowing I have the warranty is really nice, too. _________________________ CCBBA Yeast Trials Favorite recipes: Drunken Druid (Mr. Beer),JPA (All Grain)...there are more that go here, I will add them later.

Dane Brewmeister Registered: 01/14/09 Posts: 5480 Loc: North Carolina	I would not be too concerned about the warranty. There's not much to go wrong. If it looks like crap when you get it you'll know right away.

There's not much to go wrong. If it looks like crap when you get it you'll know right away. Free shipping is pretty sweet, too. That puts it about $25-30 less than the cheapest I've ever seen the Barley Crusher going for. _________________________ CCBBA Yeast Trials Favorite recipes: Drunken Druid (Mr. Beer),JPA (All Grain)...there are more that go here, I will add them later.

Only a 6-month warranty vs. the Barley Crusher's lifetime warranty, though. I've been using an attachment on the Kitchenaid mixer. That works fine for PM batches, but that 7 lb hopper will come in handy now that I have a turkey fryer and a wort chiller, so I ordered one.
