District of Columbia 15 gal home-brew setup

[cfarrell]

I've appreciated my adventures in home brewing over the past several years however, it's time for me to throw in the towel. We have two toddlers (3yo and 18mo) and I have not brewed in almost two years. I have appreciated all the amazing people on this forums and their contributions to homebrewing and because of this I wanted to offer up my equipment to this group first. My setup would be ideal for anyone looking to jump right in to making 15 gallon (1/2 barrel) batches. Everything was purchased new from Northern Brewer and Spike Brewing. All equipment is in like-new condition and has been used for approximately 6 batches (with the exception of the Spike brew kettle which has never been used). I prefer someone who is willing to buy all the equipment as opposed to parting it out. At this point, I'm not looking to ship anything so this will be for local pickup only. Happy to arrange curb side pick up to maintain social distancing and I will accept payment through most payment apps (PayPal, Venmo, CashApp). All prices are what I paid new, all offers will be considered. Thanks.

Unless you need the space they are taking up or in need of cash I'd hang on to it. In a few short years when the kids are older you will want to get back in and will have to buy all of this over again. I've been there.

I agree!

@cfarrell just a heads up for you to look at your pricing again, as a couple of the links you left have prices lower than or equal to your “used” items. Brewing equipment is a lot like a car once you drive it off the lot, it depreciates. Good luck, and yeah in a few years you might have time and get the itch again.

@kevin58 / @Hoppy2bmerry , thanks for the advice - good points all around. At this point considering space, family, etc. I'm just looking to pass it along to someone for a fair price. Appreciate the input though!

Understand. Best of luck and take care of that family.
