*** Selling for $850. *** As many of these posts that I have read over the years, it is a sad day. I don't find the time with work, kids, etc to put this gear to proper use. I will likely provide more detailed information as to the lot, but wanted to get some pictures uploaded and see about possible interest out there. I WILL NOT part out anything at this time as I would certainly like it to go to someone turnkey. Appreciate all of the wonderful members of HBT and will be sure to keep up with the site. Sure it will be a matter of time before I find a few more free minutes and the itch comes back. In the meantime, feel free to ask any questions you may have and Cheers!
In the Champaign, IL area. Selling the lot for $1,200.
Few Items of Note to get started. More details to come. All items in new or like new condition for the most part. I realize I liked working on the gear as much as I liked the brewing part of the hobby.
- 10 Gallon EBIAB system with pump, whirlpool port, custom false bottom and sous vide controller to control the mash temp. Can be used for cooking too which is nice. System works great, not issues. All cleanly welded ports. All stainless connections, fittings and silicon hoses. Everything fits within itself so is nice if space is an issue. All cam-locks have been upgraded with special gaskets to make them easier to open and close and seal nicer.
- New 5 gallon ball lock keg and 2 pin lock 3 gallon kegs. (There are a conversion kits included in the lot that should get you to three ball lock kegs)
- Custom Stainless Triclamp immersion heater. This thing is HEAVY duty and wasn't a cheap build. I like that it is water tight, but can be serviced easily. Works great. I used this with a hot plate or stove top to bring to rolling boil. Should maintain 3 gallon BIAB boils and likely more with no issue once it gets going. Used the stove or hotplate to speed everything up and it worked great.
- Bunch of brewing grains, additives and a complete Gooder than Guinness kit.
- 60+ Grolsch bottles. Pretty much all but a couple are label free and have been cleaned. Just need a rinse or a run through the dishwasher to get the dust off.
- 3 fermenters including a never used better bottle with all needed caps and a stainless steel thermowell
- Barley Crusher for milling your grain
- Thermodyne Lab stir plate with several stir bars and a DIY stir plate in the event your yeast starter gets lonely - Comes with 2000 ML Flask and another glass flask to use
- Blichmann Beer Gun with connection kit. New never used or taken out of plastic
- Oxygen stone and a couple Oxygen bottles
- Stainless Steel immersion chiller used a couple times with garden hose hookup and sink conversion to make your sink garden hose compatible. Also including my DIY copper immersion cooler. Nothing wrong with it, just one day wanted something shinier. Kettle has notch cut in lid to leave the immersion cooler in the kettle with the lid on.
- Bottle Washer, Perlick 545 PC faucet (brand new), ton or random stainless fittings and gaskets, (2) two port gas shutoffs, random chemicals, cleaners, brewing acids
- Black Box temperature controller new never used and a random weather temp gauge I used for monitoring random brewing related temperature needs
- Coveted on HBT Sanyo fridge for kegerator conversion in pretty good condition. Runs really well and will work great as a fermenter (took the front panel off and modded it with a hard poly front to allow for more room and a clean look) or will keep your beer ice cold. Shelves are laying around along with the old front if you want those.
- Other random odds and ends and random purchases that were never used
- Finally, a hand crafted mash paddle. It is priceless!
Have really enjoyed all of it. Time to move on, regroup, and plan my comeback. Thanks All!!!
