Selling a single tier 3 vessel HERMS homebrew system. This system uses 1500w/120v elements. The mash tun has one element for use in heating the strike water. The HERMS tank has two elements and the boil kettle also has two elements. The mash tun and boil kettle are both 10 gallons and the HERMS tank is 7.5 gallons. The tanks are all megapots. The boil kettle includes a whirlpool port.

The electronics and pumps are contained in a repurposed tool box. There are two pumps. One is a March 809 and the other is a March AC-1A. The March AC-1A is used to recirculate the HERMS tank water. All of the hoses are connected to quick disconnects for easy switching. The stand is on wheels so it can be rolled around.

All of the pots are wrapped in insulation wrap to retain heat.

Includes two timers so you can set the system up at night and have the water preheated for when you want to start your brew. Also included are a 120v GFCI plug and 6 outlet GFCI strip. Also has an 11.5 inch false bottom for the mash tun, which will work, although I suggest purchasing a slightly larger one for better efficiency. You will need a high amp circuit or two separate circuits to effectively use the kit. I ran it off of a 20 amp circuit in conjunction with a 15 amp circuit no problem.

This kit includes everything you will need for the boil other than a wort chiller and better false bottom if buyer decides to upgrade that. $725. Let me know any questions you may have. Located in Media, Pa.

I am curious as to what timers you are using and what they look like. As I use a heating element on my HLT and am looking at being able to set a time for it to turn on. Much appreciated!!
 
They're nothing fancy. Just a standard automatic timer that had a manual dial to set the start time
 
Part of me hopes you have this in about 6 months! Will be closing on a house and I’m already planning my brewery. This would be a great start! Sadly I have no where to put it yet!

Of course I also hope you get a good buyer quickly!
