Iowa No longer for sale

[ISUBrew79]

I’ve finally completed the build of my 3-vessel electric HERMS brewing system. The process took several years. I enjoyed the build, but in the meantime brewing has taken a back burner to other priorities. As a result, I’ve made the difficult decision to sell the system in its entirety. The system is based on three half-barrel Sanke kegs. All ports are silver soldered using pull through fittings from brewhardware.com. The system has never been used. The control panel has been tested for functionality but not load tested yet. I’ll now describe all of the components in detail.

SS 240V 5500W ripple element with 1.5” TC
Silver soldered 1.5” TC element port
Recirculation return with 90 elbow
Side draw diptube
50’ 1/2” SS HERMS coil built into kettle lid with
silver soldered compression to male camlock bulkhead. The coil can double as immersion chiller

Both with 2 piece ball valve, 90 elbows and male camlocks

2 10’ element cords with 10-3 SJOOW cable, NEMA L6-30 connectors, and braided sleeving
2 10’ pump cords with braided sleeving

Hoses and fittings
4 complete 1/2” ID silicone hoses with female Camlock fittings- 2 2’ and 2 4’ in length
12’ of 1/2” ID silicone tubing
2 - 1/2” MNPT to female camlock adapters
3- 5/8” hose barb to female camlock adapters
2 - 5/8” hose barb to 90 NPT elbow fittings
10 - liner clamps for hoses

Miscellaneous
Remnants of wire in various gauges and colors
Crimp terminal connectors
2 - lighted push button switches
2 sets of numeral decals for sight glasses

I would like to sell the system as one complete set. Due to the size and weight of the system, I will not ship. I am located in central Iowa, but would be willing to drive a couple hours to make the sale. I would also be willing to conduct a demonstration run of the system for a prospective buyer. I am asking $2500 for the complete package. This covers most of what I’ve invested into the system, aside from dozens of hours in sweat equity- soldering, wiring, polishing, etc.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I experienced serious seller’s remorse and decided to keep the system for the time being.
MODS- feel free to delete this thread if you wish.

Good for you Brew brother. That’s a great setup. I wonder why people sell their gear sometimes. You did a lot of work on it. I sometimes have sellers remorse for people.
Here’s to you and gearmay you have many long years of fantastic beer together.
Cheers
