How much for the control panel?

Still have your control panel?

I have a full three vessel setup for sale. Mashtun, Boilpot, and HLT. The mashtun has a very efficient false bottom that leaves little behind, two welded ports for thermometer and ball valve, and a fully measured out by weight sight gauge. The Boilpot has a whirlpool arm, a pickup tube that is...

Fine. Lol. 300 for all three vessels. Ill be keeping the valves and thermometers but I'll include the two sight gauges

Where in California are you located?

I'm selling all three of my 15.5 sanke Keggles. The MT and BP have sight gauges. All are in great condition. The BP has a whirlpool arm and pickup tube. If interested I can send pics and discuss price if you tell me your cell #. Thanks for reading.

I recently converted two 7.5 gal sanke kegs into fermenters using nor cal brewing solutions spray bar racking cane combo head. Disclaimer: I stole their design and made it all myself. My question: Do I passivate? The kegs were not rusted inside, nor excessively dirty. Is passivation required...

Thanks guys. I have just purchased a chest freezer for fermentation. I have also researched enough now to know that I'm moving on from carboy fermentation to pressurized corny fermentation.

Sorry if I didn't clarify that. The drive where things are getting jostled around is post fermentation. My concern is that my beautiful beer is being irreversibly harmed during transportation.

Yeh I agree. The single downside does not outweigh the reward. What psi do you ferment at? I was seeing 5-6 psi range.

Do you have a headspace issue with using 5 gal cornys? Seems like 5 gal of wort in 5 gal corny is counter-intuitive.

I brew 11 gal all-grain batches with a partner. The problem with this partnership is that our houses are 40 min apart and he has the fermentation fridge. Needless to say, every batch I'm driving 11 gal of homebrew on a bumpy drive home. Is the oxygenation occurring during this jostling of beer...

Thoughts? After lots of reading for two days I've decided to make the switch to corny fermentation on my next batch. Still debating whether to pressurize or not. Has anyone tried this?

Does anyone have an already tested and tuned in profile for a 60qt igloo ice cube cooler mashtun? I'm wanting to take a break from the Keggles.

I dont meet your requirements but i vehemently pleaded my case to participate in the last round. All that said, I hope i proved im serious and I would like in this time around.
