Massachusetts Plastic and steel Firkins (casks) for sale.

Looking to liquidate some brewing assets in preparation for a big cross-country move. I have 14 plastic firkins (10.8 US gallons) for sale all have been used professionally before but are in great condition and make a fine cask ale. I also have 5 steel firkins for sale as well. All firkins are in great shape but need a cleaning (obviously).

Steel firkins are 100$ each.
Plastic firkins are 45$ each.

Nice prices on those. You don't see casks come up for sale very often either. A firkin is too big for my needs (I have a pin) but good luck with the sale. Also for those interested in casks... You can shop for the accessories you'll need to use these at ukbrewing.com & northernbrewer.com

Sorry having computer troubles here. I'm just outside of Worcester. Definitely be willing to meet up somewhere to sell.

So shipping chart for you all

11221: 44$
48723: 71$
19605: 47$

These shipping prices are absurd but that's what the P.O. guy quoted me. Anyone know how to reduce shipping rates?

Up on Point Pleasant here.

You interested in one of the casks if I can get someone to pick up and they're still available?

Cheers. I want to say yes but that means delving into beer engine territory which means more wallet drain...

Good luck though!

You can use these without a beer engine. You can always gravity dispense.

Haha! I grew up on Hartsdale and then I sat next to you at the last UNYHA meeting.

Wondering if this would be an ideal solution to lagering a 10-gallon batch. Any ideas about long-term storage in these things?

Hello to all Rochester folks. Do micro/larger breweries use these things?

You in for one or a few? I have one of the guys from work committed for pickup.

Olaf - Rochester is looking for 2-5 of the stainless and 2+ plastic firkins and accessories if available.

I'm in Boston. Can we meet up? I'm interested in one of the 5 gallon ones.

Sorry, duh. I'll take one firkin. Steel.

Very tempting but I looked in my wallet and there's already 2 "I owe mes" in there

Are any of the SS ones still available?
