Anybody ordered from Max Dog Brewing?

What was your experience?

Overpriced rubbish. You can get what you need for much cheaper at welding supplies stores.

 

[Jen Erik]

Yes. What do you want to know?

On top of that, with their big fat logo, everyone knows you are going to CTB

It's shipped in a DHL bag so at least the external packaging is discreet.

Never heard of them

As mofreeko said, you may as well just buy from a welding supply store (for half the price)

Because this is literally the last thing I'm doing in my life, I felt okay about spending a dumb amount of money on it. It's plug-n-play, there's zero guesswork, and the PPeH provides a step-by-step illustrated guide on how to use it.

I get what you're saying, but you're literally just paying for the max dog label stuck onto standard equipment. I also like the idea of being able to buy everything in one go - gas tank full of gas, regulator/flow meter, tubing all from one shop (ie welding supply store).

 

[Walilamdzi]

I guess it's pretty convenient buying it from there because you know that the regulator is compatible and the tubing fits.

@Jen Erik Did you have to prove your age or anything? I'm not sure I'd be able to order it even if I saved the money...

No, I did not.

@Jen Erik Their website mentions that the customer is responsible for paying taxes and duties upon delivery. Do you remember how much these fees were?

I live in the U.S., and there were no taxes or duties due, so I didn't pay anything more than the sale price.

I received my Max Dog regulator today. Only took 11 days to arrive. It was shipped 7 days after I placed the order, and transit time to the US was 4 days. After they sent the tracking number, I went on the website and chose to have it held for pickup at a local DHL facility. There was also an option to have them deliver it without a signature, but I didn't want anyone I live with getting curious about what "Max Dog Brewing" is. As @Jen Erik said, there were no taxes or duties I had to pay. No age verification either.

I know there are cheaper regulators and flow meters out there, but $330 seems like a small price to pay for avoiding potential brain damage. Whatever profit they make is going to a good cause. I'm sure the floating ball type flow meters will also work, but I have more peace of mind using this. I did try purchasing a click-style CGA-580 regulator manufactured by the same company, but all the distributors required a medical license or proof that you are a brewmaster.

There was some discussion a while ago about those other regulators and how they compare, if you're interested.

I have OCD so when I peeled away that sticker, my mind flipped out for a bit.

@ArtVandelay Congrats! Do you have everything else for this method?

Thanks. I have all the materials needed to make the bag. I just need to purchase a cylinder. There is a supplier near me which sells filled 40 cf cylinders for $125. I'm not planning to CTB until October though, so I'll probably wait a bit to buy that.
