Sorry, it’s gone.

Bump for price drop.

I'm selling my dream homebrewing setup. Life has gotten too busy with 3 kids growing up for me to get full use out of it. $1400 Included: Blichmann Top Tier brewing stand 2 Blichmann Top Tier burners 1 mash tun shelf 1 accessory shelf 1 Blichmann Therminator plate chiller 1 Chugger pump Gas...

Go to brewhardware.com, get the 15 gallon bayou classic, add the sightglass/thermo combo, and a ball valve. About $230, really good quality stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Teflon thread tape is fine for food contact. Same stuff as what's in a non-stick pan.

Bayou Classic stainless pots are a really great value. Add a valve and sight glass/therm from brew hardware, 15 gallons for less than $200.

That doesn't make sense to me. Gas will equalize pressure - I don't see how one could be getting more gas.

Yep, I spent hours researching and trying to find elusive parts, only to realize that selling it on Craigslist for a small loss and buying a more expensive reconditioned keg would make things much easier.
