Available for p/u in Bergen County, Northern New Jersey. Will consider delivery within small radius, time-permitting. Delivery and p/u typically on weekends only, due to weekly travel schedule.
System built and parts purchased 2015. I used it thru 2016 and into 2017. In 2017 I took a new job with significant travel requirements, so I've had to effectively stop brewing. I've used it twice since 2017.
I've only ever lurked online, but I've learned much from HBT, especially regarding Silver soldering, and eHerms design and usage. This website is truly amazing for the collective knowledge and great community. I built the panel from a kit to minimize individually ordering from multiple vendors. I've studied electrical contracting and electrical systems on and off as a hobby. This helped insure the system worked safely as intended.
10+ Gallon 30 Amp PID eHERMS Electric Brewery - - $1000 local p/u
14 Gallon SSbrewtech Chronical w/ upgrades - - $350 local p/u
