Texas Hosehead, Bottom Drian Keg, SS Basket and Winch

[Bassman2003]

Hello, (updated, Hosehead has been sold)

I am selling my custom bottom drain keg, a custom stainless basket made to fit inside and a winch to easily lift it out.

$100 local pickup/meet in North Texas.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! That's a crazy good deal for someone!!!

I have made a lot of beer with that keg. And I bought it for $25! (before modifying...)

That's great
If you end up deciding to ship
Color me interested

 

[Bassman2003]

Thanks but I do not know how I would ship all of this. Maybe just the Hosehead if things do not move.

 

[lawless317]

You could prolly pack **** into the keg and seal it somehow
I received a light mount roof rack in the mail once with a tag and a sticker on it
No actual packing at all

 

[Bassman2003]

Maybe, but it is heavy.

Bassman, if you consider selling just the hosehead let me know, I might be interested.

Thanks!

Someone could do without the winch. You can a replacement at Harbor Freight for cheap. You can't buy a hosehead for $350 let alone a pot and basket. Be worth paying shipping IMHO.

Thanks for the inquiries. Shipping is ok as long as you can make the arrangements (packing and payment).

A little back story about the setup. The basket was made by JBird with one of his false bottoms welded in. Since this setup is not a conical, I thought too much sediment was falling through during the mash. So I purchased some 300 micron and put it in.

This system works fine for barley, but something like a hefeweizen is too gummy. I was going to move to 400 micron before deciding to go to a simpler induction system which I just built up. The screen is not that expensive and can be found on Ebay.

I did have some issues with temperature probes and the Hosehead. Corey sent me some shorter probes and they did work better, but using multiple probes was sometimes a problem. One would disappear from time to time. But I did have a wireless USB keyboard plugged in which Corey said can sometimes cause issues. He tested the unit and said all is working properly.

The winch is from Harbor Freight. Thanks for your interest.
