Hmmm might look into making this with metal, and add casters.

I just did an American Wheat extract batch and my fermentation room is in the low 60's as well. I used US-05 and it has been chugging right along. So you should be ok using the suggested yeast. Maybe just put something in between the fermentor and the floor to keep it up off the cold floor. I'm...

Would be very beneficial for me to own this piece of equipment because I don't have much time to clean. I have to do stuff as fast as I can because of my two young children always needing my supervision. So this would help me clean my carboys much faster and let me spend more time with my boys...

Well Ron I'll tell you right now. Once you get started it's hard to stop lol. I've only been a member of this site for about a year, and I've bought more items than I've needed thus far. It's more of an addiction than it is a hobby. :drunk: But I enjoy every minute that I spend doing this hobby...

You could check your local scrap yard, or maybe a bar has some on hand that have no use for them since the brewery closed.

This would greatly help with the cleaning process, and would let me clean quickly so that I can spend less time doing it. I'm a OCD when it comes to cleaning my brewing equipment, and this tool would be a very welcome tool to add to the arsenal.

They have been looked at by someone already, but that deal fell through. I emailed the guy and asked about them.

I can see where the seller would want $5500. Since it's only been used twice, and there are also other items included in the deal. If I were able to afford this, and lived in the area I would definitely make the purchase.

On Amazon you could get a 6 gallon glass carboy for $30 with free shipping. Here is the link I just looked up http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VFXW5W/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

What scoundrel said. That is what I do. I've got a small hot plate that I have a pan of water on heating up and ready when it comes time to add the LME. Once it's mostly empty I had the near boiling water to the container, close the lid and shake it and pour that into the BK. I've not missed my...

I have to agree with Hoppopotomus on this. So a gorgeous piece, and it's being wasted on serving someone else's brew. You gotta get to brewing for sure. If you can make something as nice as that, you can definitely brew your own beer. Even if it is just extract it's still your own. :mug:

Yeah it's definitely a great price. I'm not even brewing AG yet and I thought about buying one for future use.

Bump. Please pm me if you have the 2 for 1 deal available. Would very much appreciate it a lot.

You get a 1-1/2" Stainless Steel Closed Nipple that allows you to connect the FPT Ball valve

I believe they are going for the 1-1/2" FPT.
