Sounds too good to be true. I emailed the guy yesterday without response.

You snooze you lose suckers!

Nabbed that fast as possible... Thanks to a certain someone who knows who they are...

I will be naming my first all grain brew after them, in their honour.

Sometimes, good things come to those who wait!

Nice score!
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I'll say!

2 Pepsi Kegs
1 10lb Co2 (FULL)
1 2 gauge regulator (looks new)
1 T-Line gas hose with QD's
1 Thumbstud tap with QD
1 Wall tap
1 Tower tap w/ Keith's handle
Hoses to connect the taps
Hydrometer
Wine Corker
Bottle Capper
Bottle caps
Air lock
J-Tub and hose
Stir Spoon

And the guy wanted $40!!!!

I gave him a 50 and said keep the change.

Turns out he brewed two batches, hated them and wanted to get rid of it.

The only thing missing is the keg lube ;)

Only issue is that there's some nasty old beer in a couple of the lines and there's a sizable dent in one of the kegs...

How do I pressure test this thing to make sure it will hold?

Fill it with water and crank it up to 30 PSI over night?

You can pressure test them many ways. I run mine up to 50psi with a compressor when I store them after cleaning. I'd fill it really full with water and hit it at 40 psi and let it sit.
