So I emailed a guy almost 2 weeks ago who placed an ad selling carboys and misc wine making utensils.
I emailed him but never got a response.
Well out of the blue he sent me an email yesterday. He was out of town for 10 days, that's why he hadn't responded to my emails. So he gave me instructions to his house. I went over there today. He was more than 20 miles away . He opened his garage and my jaw dropped. He had home brew and wine making supplies everywhere!!! He said he hasn't brewed anything in over 3 years. He said they've got about 4 or 5 more carboys still full of wine and beer in Seattle, Wa.
He had box after box after box of stuff. He and his wife were just digging in boxes for stuff I might want. What I left with is just a smidgen of what this guy has. He had 3 cases of brand new amber flip-top bottles never even used. He didn't want to sell them to me because he wants them for root beer for his kids. Fair enough. In the CL ad they said they had a couple 3 gallon carboys, but they couldn't find them. But he had about 20 3 gallon cornies. He had all the gear for kegging minus the freezer. He had several bottling buckets and fermenting buckets, several 15 gallon food grade buckets, tons of misc stuff, a 25 ft wort chiller, a SS brew kettle (kinda small though, definitely partial boils) and so much more stuff that I already cannot remember. They said they are in the process of cleaning out their garage and that once they went through everything they were going to post another ad on CraigsList. They said that if I wanted them to they would call me and give me frist pick. I said "Hell yes!!!".
Here's What I Got
:rockin:
EDIT
I forgot to mention. I paid 110$.
