It is just painful to see the $200 units on ebay all over California.


Run a google search for restaurant equipment stores. Every major city has a few. Usually they are loaded with used units big, medium or small. They can be pricey even still, but you can haggle on the price most places. What city are you in?
 
Newburyport. We have one in Peabody and the guy was really snarky saying he wouldn't sell one for less than $800-$1000. It is actually an auction center too and I am watching it for any that come up.
 
Thank you for looking. I saw those too, but I'm looking for 2 GDM 12s and those are 26s.

I want to have two separate controlled chambers and those wouldn't fit.
 
Has anyone gone this small before?

Ummmm....this...is the worlds smallest active carboy. It has just over 9 ounces of back currant juice with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a pinch of Lalvin 1118 (happened to be an already open packet) The one next to it is one quart...lol

In honor of my dad, a survivor of the war in the Pacific in WWII, who was a lover of Jack Daniels, he would have been 90 on Lincoln's birthday next month. I put a JAOM together in his memory in a personalized JD bottle he got from the distillery some 35 years ago. Here's to ya dad!

Nice. Inline O2?

I wish. No, I usually aerate after filling. Usually with aquarium pump but I'm trying to trim that 30 minutes from my brewday, so planing to go O2 when I can get my acct together...
 
I just spray my wort into the fermenter haha. It works just as well as my inline aerator, but cheaper :)
 
Here are my fermenters sitting on top of my wine/beer cabinet. Turned my son's old dresser into my fermenting station. 4 drawers on the left but I'm going to keep 1 drawer intact for smaller supplies (oak chips, siphoning, bottle caps, corks, etc) and take the other 3 drawers out for wine bottle storage and add doors. On the right is already a door where I keep my empty beer bottles and full cases of beer. Holds 8 cases of 12packs behind the door.

Anyway.

First fermenter is a 6.5 gallon batch of a Cote des Blanc "Quick Mead" experiment.
Second fermenter is a 3 gallon repeat batch of my Hopped Saiser (saison cyser).
Third is a 1 gallon dry hopped English cider experiment.
Fourth is a 1 gallon experimental test batch of red radish Acer-Saiser (saison cyser with only maple syrup, no honey).

Excuse the messy closet, the combination of a child on the way and diving deep into brewing has made storage room an issue

Common room ESB in swamp cooler, deception cream stout (obviously the dark one) and the light one is a modified co3c

6 gallons of 1.106 Russian Imperial split between two 5 gallon carboys to avoid blowoff issues:
