Trade - Beer Engine for Digital Temp Controller (Denver/CO Springs/Pueblo)

I'm looking to trade one of my beer engines for either a Ranco or Johnson digital temp controller. I bought both beer engines off of ebay UK and had them shipped to me. They were pulled from a pub, so they have seen some use and have the normal wear and tear that one would expect from such a unit. However, they do pump. The porcelain handle is chipped at the bottom where it meets the brass flange, but is hidden by the flange when attached.



The beer engine is a Chatsworth 1/2 pint model from Drinks Dispense Group. It has a cooling jacket. The pump assembly can be completely disassembled for cleaning and sanitising.

I'm taking part in the CMC group buy, so if you're interested and also taking part, we can make the trade when we're picking up our sacks of grain.

Are you looking to ship? I've got a Johnson A419 that I'm not currently using.

If you are willing to ship I have a Ranco controller wired that I would send you way tonight...

I've got several folks who are interested if I want to ship. Right now I'm pushing for a local sale, but if I don't get any takers in the next few days, I'll start with the first person in line.

A few more clarifications: these came with NO sparklers or drip trays, so you would need to buy these yourself. UK Brewing sells them (I need to buy them myself one of these days).

The current order for folks interested in shipping is:
- drez77
- scobro
- WPStrassburg
- Boerderij Kabouter

holy crap. If by some chance of miracle if get's all the way to me, I'll trade a prewired Ranco for one.

I'll trade a prewired Ranco as well. It's brand new. If everyone drops out.....hey there's a chance.

I'm considering letting the other one go too since I'm not going to be able to use it for quite a while. Anyone willing to trade a pump for a beer engine?

I've got a march and a little giant. I'd have to check model #'s when I get home.

If no locals jump at it by 3:00 MST today, it's yours.

Let me know. I've been wanting a pump really bad so that I can go RIMS, transfer water to my HLT, etc.

I'll trade for it. A Johnson A419 work? I'll PM for details.
Regards, Jeff

I have a digital Johnson controller in broomfield I would like to trade. Pm me if you want it.

Ridebreck, I forgot to mention I tried to PM you late last night but your inbox was full and it would not let me send it. PM me back and I can meet you today, next week, or at the grain pick up. My digital controller is in great shape & hardly used. I will happily go back to my dinosaur controller if I can trade for this! Hope to hear from you soon.

Chris, RDWHAHB edged you out. He's first in line right now. Sorry drez77, looks like this one may not go your way.

The other one is still available in trade for a pump (that can handle hot wort). WPStrassburg is first in line for it.

NOTE: please respond in this thread before trying to PM me.

I'll let you know the model on it tonight.
Thanks,

If you're interested pm me your phone # to set up the details.
Thanks,
Walter

Walter, according to the spec sheet, that one can handle a max temp of 200 deg. I'm wanting to run a whirlpool chiller with this, so it would need to be able to handle boiling wort. I may have to pass.

Second beer engine is spoken for.

Still waiting to hear back from RDWHAHB on the first one...

I am still around if you don't get a response.

But it is after 3:00 PM MST yesterday ..LOL

Damned technicalities get ya every time.

If by some miracle everyone one else drops out, I'd be up for either the ranco swap or the pump swap and I'd split shipping!

Stupid work keeping me from the deals section...

So have you realized yet that you'd been much better off selling the engines, getting the two parts you need and still have plenty of cash?

Wife factor, my man. It's much, much harder for her to designate a temp controller or a pump to the honey-do list. Cash however....

I am beyond sure that both are gone, but I was searching for beer engines online and this came up. You dont happen to have either of them left do you?
