Rebound Phenomenon

So, as some of you are aware, I am going through a divorce. . .one thing my friends often say to me, is "don't give up who you are," and "be aware of the rebound phenomenon."

Well. . . I think I'm rebounding ... and one thing I'm not doing is forgetting who I am! Enjoy the pics. . . This is a B3 2100 system with all options--20 gallon automated Mash temp, float controlled sparge with an automatic temp controlled HLT/HERMS. 3 pump system, all stainless fittings/sanitary fittings with all the bling a brewer could want. So, to hell with her petty divorce, and here's to the rebound!! :rockin:

Cheers!

Old system on left (disconnected)--that along with the two 15 gallon fermenters, all of its associated chillers, pumps was what I had for sale--it is now sold. . .but the pic demonstrates size differences.

Sorry about the divorce.

but WOW

That is an AMAZING looking setup. If you don't mind me asking how much did that run you?

Well, ironically, she bought this system a couple months before she decided she was leaving me. I took delivery of it after papers had been filed. . . it sat in the garage for awhile. . .and then when she claimed it as a marital asset, I said "screw it," and I set it up. . . I'm waiting to brew a monster beer on it . . . I did the initial tests on all the systems today--thing works flawlessly. The temp controllers hold constant temps--its pretty awesome. The float switch on the sparge works like a dream as well.

it was about $6500 without the fermenter. My ex spent tax return money on it. I actually asked her not to pay the money for it, but she did anyway.

Please post contact information for Ex-SWMBO, I'd like to have her buy me a brew system and divorce me. Not sure if current SWMBO would approve.

Oooooh, that's an awesome set up. I'm impressed- it's really a thing of beauty. When you use it, it would be great if you could take lots of pictures for us!

i can haz ur brewery!? plz? kthxbye!

I'm not too far way...Atkinson, exit 27, I-80......you can drop it off and I'll give you $1000.00 for it. Since she wants it as an asset give her $500.00 and it's a done 50/50 split deal...nothing the lawyers or her can do...just tell them you wanted to cash out all memories of her...

I'll sell it back to you for the same $1000.00 when the divorce of final... No strings attached...PROMISE...:rockin:

I'm mostly an extract brewer so your equipment doesn't excite me...meaning, it looks nice, but I don't want to own it...

That thing is freaking SICK!!! I would need a HUGE chest freezer fermentor, maybe two if I had that thing. Push button brewing, awesome.

Pictures definitely will be forthcoming. . . its possible (not real likely), but possible it may be tonight.

I'm thinking my own take on the 888 RIS recipe--I know, late, but better late than never.

You know, as sexy as your setup(s) are, I was *really* hoping this thread would center around the words "24 year old," "redhead," and "36DD"

Hmmm. . . . don't have a redhead. . . maybe a blonde

probably shouldn't say anything else at this point

That's a serious setup you've got right there! :rockin:

I'll grudgingly take that piece of crap old system off your hands for you. It will greatly inconvience me, but in your time of troubles it's something I can do to soothe your woe.

Holy wow...

It is shiny. I like shiny. I wants it.

Wow.

Just wow.




Ok, that deserves another wow.

Is she divorcing you because you threw thousands of dollars at brewing gear?

To add to the bling. . .I have a wonderful new SWMBO. . been keeping it quiet till now. . but I have had a few under my belt. . . so here goes. . .
