Up for sale is my 5-12 gallon propane/electric complete brewing system. Three 16 gallon Bayou Classic kettles, controller, 2 pumps, stainless table, burner, all weldless fittings with appropriate Camlocks, Camlock hoses and ball valves included. Asking $1,000 and will also throw in the BIA Basket for days when you want to brew fast.

Boil Kettle

Control Panel
Temperatures are controlled using a BRAND NEW Inkbird IPB-16 15A Digital Pre-Wired PID Temperature Controller Thermostat. A twist lock l6-30 cable connects the HLT element to the controller. A detachable Camlock t-fitting holds the temp probe and can be placed inline where you would like to take a reading. The controller is mounted to the table behind the HLT making it easy to reach and out of the way.

This controller has a lot of potential and can be modified to meet your needs. The powered alarm output can be used to turn your pumps on and off. Posts on here suggest that with $30 of wiring and parts, this controller can be upgraded to run on 240V.

Setup
The HLT and the MT sit on top of a sturdy stainless table for mashing. A Bayou Classic KAB6 is used to heat the HLT water, strike water and then the boil. This is the stronger and more sturdy version of the KAB4.

Pumps
Includes two Keg King MKII wort pumps with stainless steel center inlet. Ball valves are used on the outlet port to regulate the flow. One pump is not pictured but will be included.
