Where is the thread/link to post contributions to brewfest?

Does anyone have a little CO2 they can spare. I racked my beer to cornys on Thursday and discovered I was out of CO2. I did not make it for a refill on Friday and just discovered that Kirks is closed on the weekend. I really dont want to let them sit without any CO2 all weekend. I could bring the 2 ...

Im upgrading my simple stove top extract brew "system" to a three tier gravity system and have encountered numerous options. Since I only want to do this once and minimize costs, I am trying to find the best cost effective (a.k.a. cheap) method the first time around. As a result, I have a series of ...

For anyone looking to move to the northwest (southwest Canada) and get serious about brewing, I found this add. Last updated in March, so I dont know if its still for sale, but it makes for some nice day-dreams

I was looking online for some kegerator faucets and shanks, and I came across this guy who had a old kegerator with CO2 gauges on the side. He only wants $150 for it. Its not what Im looking for, but thought someone might be interested. Below is his original message and email...he is in KC area.
