from what's been said here before on this job that 1 beer job sounds like it's going to be atleast 12.

Do you use the stopper? if not then yes otherwise no

Put the beer down ,Step away from the bar , i'm guessing your garden hose is one of those that gets 4" shorter every week anyways

start again tomorrow

My bar doesn't have a stopper and i don't think I've ever said, "jee I wish I had a stopper".
Get rid of it, unless your kite is poorly designed and Hindenburg's when you sheet out all the way.

hey, you sober yet
there is only one pulley, there is no garden hose and the stopper can be useful but if YOU have never used it then NO, you do not need to replace it
