DeFalco's Customers,

We, like almost everyone else in the industry, have begun to run out of the soda canisters so long our popular draft homebrew container of choice.  We've been anticipating this day for quite some time - ever since all the soda companies dropped the stainless steel canisters in favor of the the throw-away mylar "bag-in-a-box" bags.  Ball-lock canisters have almost completely disappeared.  We have a handful of these arriving shortly and at least one more sizeable shipment of the pin-lock canisters coming.  After that, well, who knows?  If you are interested in getting out of the bottling business and into the kegging business, we recommend that you not waste time.  We will be offering new ball-lock canisters in the interim, but these fetch a premium price - about three times our previous used price.  You would be well advised to keep a look-out for soda canisters and not miss an opportunity to purchase if offered.  Hopefully, we'll have better news in the future, but I am not expecting so.
