OMFG, those look sooo good!!

Great suggestions, check the door seal too. Around back check to see if anything looks dinged up, that's where all the working parts are. Don't be afraid to walk away if it doesn't seem right. He selling it for $400 but dropped it to 100, might be a great deal, might not.

For 100 bucks is worth checking out, looks ok from the pictures. The add says four taps included. If you need them great but if not you could sell them to reduce your cost. Check the thing over in person, ask how long he's owned it, look for questionable damage. It might be a great deal for a...

Are you sure it was CO2?

Ouch!

I'm the only one drinking beer at my house, three taps is sometimes not enough.

Funny to see this, I'm heading to Merritt Island this weekend. Unfortunately not to buy your equipment. Going down to clear out my mom's apartment. I do wish you luck selling your equipment. Looks good, you should be able to find a new home for it.

Welcome to the group! Shopping around for co2 is your best idea. Prices are all over the place but every year it has been getting higher. 60 bucks for a twenty pound exchange is where I'm at too in Wisconsin. Co2 is produced here from ethanol production but still expensive.

Is that for all of us?

It's exhausting just reading.

I prep the day before then start the brew day early, like as soon as I get moving the next morning. All the noisy tasks are done so my wife isn't disturbed. Just me, Roxy and fresh coffee for a morning brew!

For sure! I could very easily have a boil over in my 25 gallon kettle doing ten gallon batches. The bigger the better, you can't go wrong!

Larger kettles are the way to go. With a 15 gallon batch my 25 gallon kettle was OK but could have been larger. Ideal for ten gallon batches. I use natural gas for it

I started with 5 gallon batches, then ten and another leap to 15. That was over a course of ten years of brewing. I'm now comfortable with ten gallon batches and doing so for twenty plus years. I brew on a 4v system that has changed slightly over the years. Five gallon batches were buckets. The...

After building two keezers, two repurposed fridges to serve beer I just came to terms and bought a commercial beer cooler from Iron Mountain Refrigeration. Mine is a 48" model that can hold eight corny kegs. It was a great purchase. After looking at others and weighing building another...

I agree with the swap, should be an easy thing to accomplish, but Bobby is selling that item and will be able to say for sure. He might be able to modify it to for a fee. A modification would make it perfect. I think even a modified flat TC would work. Again, Bobby is the guy to chime in.

What beer styles have you brewed before and just ales? Saison is an easy style to try, just 2-3 grains, the yeast selection is probably the hardest part but there's some great suggestions here. Stouts are nit that hard either, just finding the right recipe that appeals to you. Swing over to the...

Know anyone that can weld stainless steel, properly? That's your best option if you don't trust the non welded fittings.

What do you consider a "complex" beer or process? Brewing doesn't need to be complex, some brewers make it that way but it doesn't guarantee great beer. Many of the simple recipes and processes make outstanding beers.

Have you thought about one of those weld-less fittings? Ideally having someone weld a fitting in would be the best option. My keg fermenter has a side fitting and another above the cone, both Welsh less and never an issue with leaking.
