continuous brewing question

[Guest guest]

So, I spent a great deal of time looking for a spigot jar that is about 2 or 3

gallons. I was not successful. I went to Target, Walmart, ACE Hardware,

Costco, Goodwill, Salvation Army, TJ Max, The ARC thrift store, and online. [i

actually set a personal best of visiting 6 stores in 57 minutes.] Either it was

plastic, or too small, but the kicker was usually that the spigot was metal on

the inside. Often times it was extremely fancy and I would be paying for fancy

rather than volume. Sometimes I could see metal at the far end of the spigot.

There were several really nice ones, but if I looked carefully down the inside

hole of the spigot, I could see metal.

And I could not examine the one's online.

So, I figured that you-all would know what brand and where to get appropriate

spigot jars for continuous brewing. (:->)

Hopeful,

I got 1 of mine off someone on Craigslist, the other was at a Goodwill store.  I

had to change both spigots, because the first was metal, the second was a really

cheap spigot and it leaked, which i think is why they donated it to a goodwill. 

the spigots unscrew and you can replace them.   the first one i replaced with a

spigot i got off a sun tea jar i bought at Walmart, the holes were the same, the

second was a tiny hole, and i couldnt find a spigot to fit at all, so I took it

to my local Stained glass artisan and he drilled the hole bigger, and i used a

spigot from another sun tea jar.

There is a place online, several actually, but the only one I can think of 

right now is

I suggest a simple 2.5 gallon ceramic crock with plastic spigot. Your local

co-op may have it, or you can get one here:

They usually run $30-$40.

Nona,

My appreciation is coming at you>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have visited dozens of places, including many garage sales and online site,

looking for the right jar. I think that the jar at ACE hardware was cheap, and

I could easily get an spigot for it.

Thank you.
