That is pretty rude of him (or her)! We are expecting our first in July, I hope my kid doesn't force me to sell all my gear!

Sorry to here your getting out of it. I found it easier to brew when the little bugger was immobile and slept 20 hrs a day. Good luck.

Yeah, he's an insistent little guy already! Congrats on your upcoming/impending new child!

It's basically the time commitment required for brewing is tough with a child, especially since I have other hobbies that I prioritize higher than brewing. You'll also find that you need so much stuff with a newborn that space also becomes a premium!

I know It might be a stretch but im new to this whole home brewing thing and I could use that whole set. Would you be willing to ship it all? To New York non the less? I understand that it would be costly to myself but I would be willing to pay if the price was right. Let me know thanks

Hi TaylorB - are you sure you're willing to pay for shipping to NY? This is not only a large amount of items, but also heavy and fragile (at least the carboys are).

I would think that shipping may cost ~$100, which would decrease the overall value of this purchase for you versus a local buyer.

If I don't have a buyer lined up in a week I'd certainly consider shipping it to you. But I would also recommend that you check out some of the sponsors here - such as austinhomebrew.com - that includes free shipping for orders over a certain $ amount.

After playing around with pricing on UPS I have realized it would cost more like $200 dollars lol so I think I will have to pass on the package deal. If for some reason you decide you would piece it out I would like to hear your asking price for the bottle tree, bottle rinser, and the bench capper all as a combo deal. This would still allow you to sell the rest of the equipment localy at a good price if not the same price and I could still get a few things I would be able to use at alot cheaper shipping price lol. Just a option for ya. If your interested just send me a private message and if not well best of luck selling it, you will have one luck buyer. PS congrats on having a little one on the way. I have a 3 month old of my own.

What about not shipping the carboys and maybe the burner? Those are two things you can get on Amazon with free shipping.

Hey a bud,

I am just south of you (PDX) and might be interested in picking this up. Have you had any takers?
