Hey Philly crew,
Anyone interested in a temperature controlled 15 gal plastic conical fermenter with CIP? Looking for $700 OBO. I fabricated the system based on an HBT tutorial, which i can't seem to find anymore. I've used it successfully with the heater set up in the winter on about 4 batches but have yet to set up the AC unit as a glycol chiller. hoping to do that this weekend. I'm selling this to raise funds for a morebeer conical.
Here is the Craigslist ad:

Temperature controlled minibrew 15 gallon conical fermeneter with CIP - I took a minibrew conical fermenter and drilled out fittings for a stainless steel coil and CIP ball. The coil runs to a reservoir with either hot or cold glycol in it and automatically maintains temp of the beer within 1 degree. I will post pictures asap.
Here is what is included and what I paid:
15 gal minibrew conical fermenter ($400)
Custom 25 ft 3/8" OD stainless steel coil ($76)
CIP ball ($30)
Stainless thermowell ($15)
2X weldless bulkheads ($50)
2 submersible pumps - 1 for CIP; 1 for glycol resevoir ($175)
1 Aquarium heater ($15)
Ranco digital temperature controller ($65)
Johnson digital temperature controller ($75)
Cooler ($25)
Thermowell ($12)
Various fittings and tubing ($50)
1" ball lock for dumb valve ($20)
1/2" ball lock for sampling valve ($15)
Window AC unit for chilling glycol ($35) (Still need to install this but should be pretty simple.)
Total spent: Over $1,050 + MANY hours fabricating and fitting the parts.
I'm looking to get $700 for everything OBO.
Thanks for reading.
