So I work with an orthopedic surgeon at my hospital and I find out he home brews, I ask him about it and he say I used to till I got married, he asked me do I home brew I say ya, he says he has some equipment for me if I want it. His wife wants him to get rid of it because they are moving to Michigan. Cool I say. So Im at Disneyland and my buddy picks it up for me and drops it in my back yard and this is what I find in my yard!!

Just tallying up the big ticket items I reached over 1300 dollars! Thank goodness for rich Surgeons with crabby Wives!!!

I can't believe it really. I lucked out big time. Lots of stuff I would never buy due to the $$ but now I have it. Just wanted to share my dumb luck!:mug:
 
Wow how do you progress that far into the hobby and then just quit. I'd be all like, "Woman!!!"
 
I dont think he used much of it at all. most was still in bubbles wrap and original packaging!
 
Oh I see. He probably just went into a homebrew store and something like, "Give me one of everything." Then never used it.

Congrats. That's crazy.

Looks like it some of the stuff doesn't even make sense truebe.
 
This may be the best "score" in HBT history. Best part is your in Disneyland, and it is delivered to your back door free of charge! Ya didn't even have to lift a finger, lucky bastid!

Don't look like Perlick faucets to me...WTF, is the guy cheap or what???
