Bumpity bumpity. Come on, there must be somebody in southern VT, western MA, or upstate NY who can provide a good home for this thing.

It's more for your benefit than mine.

54"w x 17.5"d x 27"h It worked really nicely for me. I just got sick of being at the mercy of the weather, since I don't have a garage. I also have a poorly maintained dirt driveway, so I'd spend forever finding a level spot to brew and constantly worry about dropping hoses into the dirt and...
