I haven't brewed in a few years, so it's time to let this gear go and take back some closet space. This is largely based on the Countertop Brutus from BYO years ago. Everything you see in the pictures is included. Local pickup only.
Kettle
- 5 gallon aluminum kettle
- Stainless ball valve with siphon pick-up
- Graduated Sight glass with thermocouple
- 1500 kW heating element; epoxy potted and grounded; twist-lock plug on cord
- Lid with inlet port for whirpooling
Mash tun
- 5 gallon igloo style cooler
- Stainless mesh tube with internal spring
- Stainless ball valve; stainless fittings
- Inlet port in lid for minimal temperature loss during sparge
Chiller and pump
- 20' counterflow chiller inside bucket
- March mag-drive pump
- Quick disconnect garden hose fittings
- Stainless ball valve
- Twist-lock plug on cord
- Pump doubles as mash tun stand for gravity draining of mash tun
Control panel
- Auber instruments PID controller
- Solid-state relay for switching heating element; external heat-sink for proper cooling
- Panel mount lever switches with industrial contactors
- Engraved legends
- All wires cleanly routed and zip tied for strain relief/cleanliness
- Individual fuses for each circuit (pump, heating element, PID controller)
- Twist-lock receptacles for secure and weatherproof connections
- Long cord with a typical 3-pronged plug
Not shown, but also included
- Fermenting buckets
- Better bottle carboys
- All necessary racking equipment
- Stirring spoon and mash paddle
- Refractometer
- All necessary hoses and fittings (and some extra)
- Hop bags, hop balls, etc.
- Cleaning supplies
You'll notice this is a 2 vessel homebrew setup. That might look odd, but it saves a lot of space. Rather than sparging with clean water and collecting the run-off wort, I simply recirculate the sparge water and the wort until everything reaches equilibrium. What's the downside of this? Efficiency. This brewery will get you about 60% efficiency. What's that mean in real terms? About an extra handful of base malt. If that's not up your alley, you could collect the wort into a bucket and rack back into the kettle after sparging.
Asking $650
