AHBs biggest Bargains. What have you scored?

[Bingo002wa]

The shop I work at has a bottle shop attached and my boss occasionally dustributes for commercial beer companies. He let me grab a couple of empty 50 Lt kegs for the princely sum of nothing.

When I first started BIAB I scored a 20 litre urn from the FIL. Then when I made my 3V system I found a steel framed bench at work in the skip which I turned upside down, fitted castors to the bottom, fitted ply shelves and now have a great 3V brew stand.


Also scored a number of CO2 fire extinguishers when we moved premises at work which I'm still using on my kegerator. I have never paid for CO2 yet.

Our old mate Chappo, some years ago passed a plate chiller and regulator on to me for nicks. Gave me the reg to help get started in kegging, then later gave me his plate chiller as he was going over to no chill. Still using both.

Anyone remember Chappo?
Where are you Chappo?


Cheers,
Gavo.

Just last night I stopped in at Manly Vale Dan Murphy's to pick up one of those Bridge Road 3x IPA and a Spiegelau IPA glass packs.

Unfortunately there were no packs left but there was a 1x Bridge Road IPA sitting next to the IPA glass on the Shelf.

I spoke to the manager who ended up charging me $2.45 for the IPA bottle (he scanned it in as a VB can) and gave me the glass for free.

Absolutely made my night.

Stainless fridge, fits 4 cornies. $25bucks from EBay.
The tap and drip tray are off a fridge I got free from a fellow ahb member.
