I'm pretty frugal (out of necessity), so once I made the switch to all-grain, and then kegging, I needed to find all my gear as cheap as possible. I've found some KILLER deals before on craigslist and felt the need to share, and hear what other people have found before!
My first big score was finding 5 antique glass carboys for 5 bucks a piece, needless to say, I bought everything they had. They were pretty nasty but I was able to clean them to a shine.
Yesterday I got the best deal I've ever seen. I found 12 corny kegs (mixed pin and ball lock) for $100 bucks. They are crusty, dirty, and full of old soda syrup, but I almost fainted when I found the deal. The guy was super late to show up, but lo and behold he came through and I now have more cornys than I know what to do with, a "problem" I never thought I would ever have before.
So what sweet deals have other people found?!?
