Got 12-15 cases of clean 12oz bottles to anyone who wants them. Most are sam adams. Most also have labels already removed, but not all. I'm in columbia, sc area. Also have a few 750 Belgians I can part with. When I finally get around to cleaning the garage, they'll all go to recycling.

Charleston naval base. Got on a demolition job.

Two 20 gallon, one 40 and one 60 gallon.

Great article. Thanks for finding that. If I can get a grand or two for each, I'm going to definately convert these things. Cept, I'll be converting them into cash, which will then be converted into a brew structure. :mug:

Here are some pics of the kettles

I've just thought about this question. I usually order kits from B3 or AHB. The instructions in their kits are for partial boils. Last night I did a mild stount from B3, but instead of partial, I started w/ 6.5 gallons of water, and the siphon started sputtering at exactly the 5 gal mark...

I think I'm sporting a little chubby after seeing that setup.

Do you have a love affair with periods...... It makes it really hard to read. That and all the insults you hurl at people trying to help.

I keep a cooler full of water/oxyclean solution in my garage. As i drink one, I dump it in to soak. Usually just forget about them, and they end up taking a week or so of a bath. Even dump belgian 750's in there for when I do a strong ale, or barleywine or something strong to bottle in them...
