Just scored this guy tonight:
-2x 6 gallon carboys
-2x 5 gallon carboys
-Bottling Bucket
-15 gallon boiling keg
-Stand capper
-3x boxes of 22oz bottles
-10x boxes of 12oz bottles (2.5 of which have beer in them from like 2 years ago...)
-A ton of misc stuff: thermometers, hydrometers, blow offs, caps, etc.
All for $150. Unfortunately I don't have a good place to really brew 15 gallons at a time, which means I'm sticking with extracts for now...
A question: the guy had a huge amount of bottling sugar that he also threw in and said it was probably 5+ years old. Can/should I use this or would it be better to buy fresh stuff? There was one batch in a ziplock bag and another batch in what looked like a completely sealed, new in pouch, type of setup. Thoughts?
