If it's the Bull Jager system - I can attest that it makes great beer.

100g's looks a little steep, but then I saw that 2 tape guns are included, easily puts it over the top.

 

[NuttyProf21]

Yeah I was thinking the same

 

[integra93ls]

I think its a good price plus its obo. Show me a complete brew setup for around that price.. the bottle machine alone is worth some money

 

[Krovitz]

I just went on the greatest day dream.

Maybe we can pull 100 homebrew talk users together with 1 g a piece and start HBT Brewing

I'm in as long as we can keep it at my house ; )

I have been speaking to him, as a person about to open a brewery, my biggest thing is the plastic fermenters

I was thinking once we own it we pay some schmuck off of HBT to run it and send us money/beer once in a while. We would make a poll and use the best recipes from HBT... Needless to say most of them would come from my database.

So offer him $80K w/o the fermenters and buy whatever you want - but don't expect (8) 8 bbl SS fermenters can be had for $20K. Start with plastic and switch over as funding allows.

In no way am I saying the price is unfair but regardless of the price I am Leary of using plastic fermenters

if the brewery came with a residence, we could rotate investors/brewers thru and not have to find local accommodations.

Its a long commute from VA, but i do have a friend in NH.

 

[ckcanady]

My previous business partner has spent over 100k in California for his 10bbl brewery with a made in house brewhouse. When you think equipment + time put in , 100k COULD be a steal.
This is a debate me and a buddy had. Food grade/ UV stabalized Polyethylene tanks should be fine short term and, as long as they are well taken care of, for a "medium" amount of time.

 

[Ma23456]

I agree, I think if I do go with this I will just soak them boiling water

It does say in the post it's ready for turnkey operations - I read that as one can leave it in place (and would likely need to pick up the lease/rent of where it's at).

 

[Ma23456]

Yea to pickup the lease is 1200 a month

 

[bhand65]

Damn this for being on the otherside of the country. Also, $1200/month for rent on a space fitting 7bbl brewery is way cheap. In los angeles, I'm looking at that much for 1100 sq ft.

 

[Ma23456]

This is 1500 sqft

It's Portland, ME. You can get a decent house not far outside Portland for a mortgage of $1,200/month.

mmmm....unless by decent you mean 2 BR ranch 30-40 minute drive from Portland, you need to come up a bit on that mortgage payment...

Taxes are killer here....only 1 million people in a huge landmass of a state. Most of them old.

I said mortgage payment - nothing to do with taxes. With 20% down and a 4% mortgage rate equates to about $320K purchase price on a home.

4 bed, 3 bath, 2K square feet IN Portland.

 

[jessup]

Forklift, walking coolers, bottling equip & everything else sounds like a damn good deal to me!

I have $1k to throw in where's the other 99%?

Could you even IMAGINE the amount of bickering that would go on with 100 people from here trying to run the 1st meeting about the new brewery

 

[Sheldon]

oh yea, its comical to imagine: I want to brew x, no I want to brew a XX, no how about y, hahaha.

Not to mention the fighting over whether or not to use a secon..... I mean bright tank.

 

[branman]

I got my 1k... its fun to daydream lol

 

[ScoobyKnows]

A co-op style brewery is not the worst idea I've ever heard. I wish I lived closer. Put me down for 1% and I will daydream some more here at work.
