[Animalwonder]

Free to whoever can pick them up. 2 fully functioning vessi fermenters, including bottling attachment.

Location is Woodbury Minnesota.

Wow!

As I map the drive just to verify it would be an insane roadtrip!

I can only see the second photo. How heavy are they?

I believe there’s only one picture posted. The fermenters are made to serve from.

Can’t believe these aren’t gone yet!! OP states they’re fully functional! I know there’s got to be someone in his area that could use a nice “free” upgrade!

Here’s a little help.. they’re kind of difficult to find info on.

I live about 150 miles north and had not heard of these. I am very interested, just have to figure how to get them.

 

[Big_D]

One last link..this one has a pretty good video. They’re self contained, temp controlled fermenters that can be served from, or you can bottle or keg from them. If they’re not gone by this weekend, it might be road-trip time for me!

How heavy are they?

Found the manual, no weight listed, but they show it as heavy and requires 2 or more people to lift.

Here’s a little more info on the manufacturers site (hard to find)

One of those pages has pictures with dimensions and says 150 lbs. They're on casters too. Hmmm, maybe need to rent a U-Haul and plan a road trip.

Great idea! I’ve had great success with these, but am downsizing and don’t have room at my new place. I can certainly help load them.

I can pick it up Saturday if that works for you

Loading was my problem or I would have grabbed one. My boy is not always wanting to road trip with his dad and I am not young anymore where I could lift and put that in the truck. Damn

Communication is key on something like this if you truly want them. Getting help to load them on his end can usually be arranged fairly easily. I would ask the OP if there’s an option of paying a neighbor friend or son 20 bucks or so to help lift the 2 quickly into a truck. It would be money well spent, and easy money for a couple minutes of work for them. Once they’re loaded, you’ve got all the time you need on your end to arrange help.

I work for a major airline, I fly for free, and MSP is one of our major hubs! Someone better jump on these pretty quick before I find a one way rental!

I'm trying but haven't heard back from animalwonder yet. I live close and really want them.

 

[Saunassa]

I thought someone already claimed them, otherwise I will take them and wrangel a friend from east metro to meet me down there

 

[Imagineer]

I did, but the OP hasn't had a chance to get back to me yet to arrange for a pickup.
