    I'm looking to upgrade my E-HERMS system capacity, so I'm selling my HLT, MLT and BK from my current system.

    Pictures of the build can be found here:
    My HERMS Build

    Everything is stainless, and here is some info on each keggle:

    HLT:
    5500 ULWD heating element with 10 AWG plug and sealed conduit box (like Kal's)
    (4) 3-piece stainless 1/2" ball valves with TC fittings
    -- Water out, water in (for recirc), mash in, mash out
    Stainless diptube
    Calibrated BobbyM sightglass
    RTD sensor for HLT temp
    Analog thermometer for mash recirc
    RTD to XLR cable
    Stainless lid

    MLT:
    (2) 3-piece stainless 1/2" ball valves with TC fittings
    -- Mash out, mash in
    25' 1/2" stainless coil inside for HERMS
    RTD sensor for mash temp
    RTD to XLR cable
    Sabco stainless false bottom
    Stainless diptube
    1" thick foam insulation on sides and bottom (very nice quality, clean install, holds mash temp like a dream)
    Stainless lid

    BK:
    5500 ULWD heating element with 10 AWG plug and sealed conduit box (like Kal's)
    (2) 3-piece stainless 1/2" ball valves with TC fittings
    -- Wort out, wort in
    RTD sensor for mash temp
    RTD to XLR cable
    Sabco stainless false bottom
    Stainless diptube
    Calibrated BobbyM sightglass
    Stainless lid

    You'll notice in some of the photos, the burners are still attached. I ended up changing my mind after getting the stand and installing electric elements, but I still have the burners.
    I'll consider selling the stand separate. It's all stainless and made by Pinup. It has mounts for two march pumps, a RIMS tube in the back, LP tank holder and a water filter on the side. I opted for larger casters, not sure on the size.

    PRICING:

    Stand- $600
    HLT- $400 (not parting out)
    MLT- $350 (not parting out)
    BK- $400 (not parting out)

    Brewery is located in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

    Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I ended up moving the brewery back to where I work in MD. So as of now, the brewery is back in action and off the market. Thanks for the inquiries.

    1" foam insulation covered in gorilla tape. It maintains a pinpoint mash temp with almost no fluctuation with the HERMS

    I may be interested in the boil kettle. I'd use it for BIAB. I'm not really up on the herms systems or E-Brewing but what all would be needed to run one vessel? Could I just use a love controller type deal and run it from that?

    Looks very nice! Is this just the pink foam insulation?

    Thanks Antler, but there are a bunch of people interested in the whole lot. If nobody takes the whole brewery, I'll start up a post to part out.

    No, it's the ultra flex black foam insulation from McMaster. Pricey stuff!
