For Sale Variety of Brewing Equipment - Free!

[redrocker652002]

To those who asked about my kegerator, the reason I am restricted is due to the freezer shelf in it. I am afraid to try and bend it because if I break the pipe then it becomes useless. I have see Youtube vids where they try and do this and the metal pipe breaks and all is lost. But that is not to say I won't try it. Heck, he has so much cool stuff it would be like a kid in a candy store just to check it all out.

Someone from another thread was interested in the culture tubes I have. Used to propogate yeast. VERY cost effective, efficient, and convenient way to "handle" your yeast. Get 5-6 and even more batches from one purchase of the primo liquid yeast. These are Kimax culture tubes rated for autoclave use; of course, we use our pressure cooker. If you enjoy brewing on a regular basis, best to learn the advantages of using slants to store and innoculate your batches.

It is a process if anyone is interested. Simple, but certain things to know makes it easier when starting out.

First photo is before cleaning to ship. Note that this slant is well over 20 years old and still good to go. Just to give you an idea of the advantages of "storing" your yeast this way. Other photos after cleaning to ship.

Got price to ship $56 for FedEx, and around $65 for USPS. Tubes are ~$4 ea new, and when shipped with racks to hold ~$2 ea. The person who was initially interested didn't want to pay that much shipping.

I have 31 of them. The small rack is home made and will fit into my pressure cooker. The large rack is worn, but a couple of coats of black spray paint will go a long way.

check your PM's I am very interested in coming over to take a look.

Man i'd love that 10gal keg but i'm on the opposite coast.

 

[BBeerme]

Looks like we're down to the floor model corker, 10 gal keg, culture tubes for slants, maybe the grain mill, and a few of the 5 gal glass carboys.

If I find or can think of anything else, I'll let y'all know.

 

[BBeerme]

WOW I can't believe more people are not all over this. if I weren't on the east coast, I would take it all
Maybee people thinks it's some kind of scam as you don't see kegs and a grain mill for free.

For what it's worth, RedRocker stopped by and loaded up. He can attest to the fact I am the real deal. No scam. Just a sort of change of life thing, trying to de-clutter and see what the next stage of life will set on my doorstep.

Ill be in San Jose in a couple weeks. Can i claim dibs on the 10 gallon corny?

I haven't brewed in 20 yrs and in my mid 60's now, so just giving everything away. Free for the taking.

Compliments for giving it all away, don't see that very often.
I'm in my mid 60's but still brew and drink a fair share of beer, cider and wine. Actually planting a small vineyard this spring.
It may sound morbid, but I'd rather pass away with a beer in my hand than a in a wheel chair in some retirement home with drool all over my shirt.

Yeah, no problem. It's yours. Probably just needs new lid gasket and rubber o-rings for the fittings, inexpensive maint intems, maybe they're still okay, anyones guess.

Nothing wrong with drinking in moderation, regardless of age!

Got 2-4 cases (maybe more?) of wine bottles if you're interested. Didn't even think of mentioning on here till just now. Otherwise, they're going in the recycle bin. Let me know

 

[505-Brewer]

Cool. I’ll reach out when im headed that way.
Cheers

 

[redrocker652002]

I will attest, this is the REAL DEAL!!!!!!! I got more stuff than I ever thought I could fit in my little truck. I still have to go thru a bunch of it, but I cannot tell you what a great guy he is. My brother and I started out just wanting to grab and go, but had such a great time sitting and chatting we ended up there the whole day. As I go thru stuff, if there is anything I don't know what to do with, I'll post it. Thank you again for your generosity, I really do appreciate it.

 

[redrocker652002]

Also, I gotta say, he is the ultimate DIY guy. Everything was designed and constructed by him. It is awesome to see. Mr Gadget x100 LOL. Rock On!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BBeerme]

I may not live in the SJ area but the company I work for is located there and i have many friends who may be willing to ship some equipment to me. Can you provide me some pics? Thx, Rich

Did you have time to ask your friends at your company about shipping the grain mill? Let me know one way or the other.

 

[redrocker652002]

I have seen this item up close, and it is really cool. Motor attached and drive belt runs the mill. Mounted on a metal plate and has an outlet the drop the grain into your bucket. Table top and not set on a bucket. This thing, like all his other stuff, if a DIY masterpiece.

 

[BBeerme]

Forgot all about the carboys. I've got 9 of them, I'll probably keep one, but the others are going. Any takers, let me know.

Think I'll put three on the front lawn for a week and see what happens.

 

[Pelly]

I've got a counter pressure bottle filler, was looking for it, must be buried somewhere. Interestingly enough, got away from bottling, just so much time and hassle involved. I bought and used it just so I could enter beer in competitions. But I did run across my refractometer. Reads sugar in a % for potential alcohol.

Just looked up the price. Can't believe how cheap this stuff is these days. Stuff was more expensive years ago. I guess that's one benefit to the World wiDe iNTerWeb.

I would be interested in the refractometer. Let me know if it is still available.

Thanks,

Mike

Most everything is now gone. Have 16 of the slant tubes left. And a couple of the "larger" items are spoken for. Even the glassware found a home; which looks like that post got deleted by the mods. Thanks for the interest though.

I'm glad you found new homes for everything.

[BBeerme]

Put those three on the front lawn like I said.

 

[BBeerme]

Then I said screw it. I'll take them to a local brew shop and see if he wants them for free. Nine altogether. I'm keeping one, an older one, and my sweetie has a friend who wants one. Otherwise, I'll probably just take a hammer to them and to the dump they go . . .

 

[BBeerme]

Figured I might as well take the floor corker to him as well.

 

[beren]

Nice corker. So sad your so far.

 

[BBeerme]

And you know what else I found? The original box of slant tubes. Still has 20 brand new and unused tubes.

 

[BBeerme]

Nice corker. So sad your so far.

I know, huh? People are so spoiled these days, can't even hardly give things away.

 

[BBeerme]

Going to keep these for the memories. Bought a couple of hydrometers when I was a kid. Couldn't get them to work. Then I realized they were for syrup. Just a little bit higher gravity than what we deal with, LOL.

And seriously, when I started, the caps had cork. It was a bout the time I started brewing they began using plastic instead of cork. Yeah, began doing this craft back when God was deciding what color dirt should be . . .

 

[BBeerme]

Which now reminds me, I must have several cappers. The original I got from my dad. Which I wore out the one "gear" that was used to cap every bottle. Had to put a block under the bottle so I could use the next gear. Guess I'll deal with those another day.

 

[505-Brewer]

Ill be in San Jose Late Sat and Sunday if you still have the 10 gal keg and the timing works out. Pretty sure I started a conversation with you but not sure where those hide after sending them?
Cheers.
