Just missed a pile of copper and kegs

Post by goinbroke2 »

For whatever reason I went out of my way on the way home from work tonight and stopped at the scap yard. Asked for 2" copper pipe. "Nope, we just cut it all up yesterday and this morning". Oh well, they always have it so I'll check in another day.

Heading back to the truck I turned around and asked if they had any Stainless Steel kegs. "we just got rid of about 30 of them, some guy cleaned out his basement" WHAT?????!!!! Where are they? "Oh we run them through the metal chipper" :cry: :cry:

About the only good news is he said "oh we get tons of them in all the time though" I asked how much they charge he answered "about a dollar a pound and they weigh about 20lb's..well maybe $15.00 or so something like that. We get them all the time, just keep checking back". :ebiggrin:

I'm gathering bits and pieces to build a VM head for my keg..and I need a keg for a BOP...and I should make a liebeg condensor instead of my coil-in-a-bucket...and....ohh, shiny......
Numerous 57L kegs, some propane, one 220v electric with stilldragon controller. Keggle for all-Grain, two pot still tops for whisky, a 3" reflux with deflag for vodka. Coming up, a 4" perf plate column. Life is short, make whisky and drag race!
