    I am selling my 20 gal boilermaker with false bottom, sight glass, thermometer, 1/2” blichmann valve with ½” barb. Price is firm at $350 plus shipping cost from Indy or local pick up. It is in really good shape with only some minor wear and tear.

    I'm only selling this because I upgraded and my new equipment finally came in and this is no longer being used.

    Good luck!

    It's only 390 plus 60 for the false bottom online. After shiping it soul be just as worth it to buy new

    Everywhere I have seen for the 20 gallon is $409 + $99 false bottom. Where are you seeing these prices?

    Northern brewer has 20 gal for 390. My brew store sells a false bottom that fits it for 60 and some change. It isn't a blichmann false bottom but is compatible so you got me there. Lol. If for some reason it dosent sell and you do decide to drop the price I am serious about buying if not I no worries I understand. Cheers

    Not an apples to apples comparison in any way. It is $409.99 for the kettle everywhere (including NB), $99.99 for the false bottom and $6.99 for the hose barb. Grand total is $516.97. He's offering this for $350. I'd take a 33% savings any day of the week for an item that doesn't wear with use.

    Great price, great product. Good luck with the sale.

    $350 is a steal and I wish I had it to buy this.

    Thanks Demon, and thanks for the clarification solo...although I did get kind of excited thinking somewhere was selling stuff that cheap that I had been missing all this time.

    Do you have any pics of the kettle? Was this direct fired or used in RIMS/HERMS system? Definitely interested.

    Yea, I have always used a banjo burner under it, there is a spot on the bottom that is kind of dark, maybe from a high flame or something, not sure. However, I did do about half of the brews on it using sort of a herms system (one of my other threads explains how I used a therminator to maintain mash temps, kind of just for fun and out of curiosity) I have done between 10-15 brews with this (mostly 10-12gal batches and a couple 15 gal batches). It has a few very minor scratches and dents from normal use but nothing significant. I bought it from my LHBS for $400 + $100(for false bottom) and tax, and never regretted it. I'll upload some pics in just a minute...

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    let the record show that hoosier is an upstanding HBTer. Item exactly as described.

    P.S. Now if you ever need to sell one of those stout tanks or tuns, you know who to contact first right? :D


    Haha... thanks again! :mug:

    Awww man I really wish I was 1. In the market for it and 2. Actually had the room for either. I'm tapped out right now. Looks like a sick setup, I'm sure you won't have any issues selling it man. Thanks for keeping me in mind!
