This website offers a glimpse into one homebrewing family's adventures in brewing. This is primarily a non-technical presentation about some of the equipment used, steps involved, and ingredients. Hopefully both brewers and nonbrewers will enjoy it.

The Sad and Unfortunate News for Our Tanks
It appears that we have the old style tanks that do not have the saftey protection valve (or whatever) that is now required of all tanks. Bottom line, they cannot be filled. They are worth the gas inside them, and we will give them away for FREE. If nobody steps up, I will take them to HMI Welding Supply and Propane Gas in Christiansburg so that those folks can do whatever it is that is done to tanks like ours. It is a sad day to say goodbye to tanks that helped us brew some good beer. But such is life. Drink up and enjoy it while we can! Cheers to all good LP tanks and all good beers!
I have two hundred pound LP tanks with a similar fate. :(

Randy, It turned out I was able to return the tanks to some LP supplier and I guess the tanks will be emptied and undergo a proper "burial" or whatever happens to old tanks when they are no longer within code.
