Pending sold. I will update this thread if there are any changes.

We are looking to downsize and move out of state soon plus I lost interest in brewing late last year. I may get another system some day. I wouldn't change much if anything in the future.

I have the following equipment for sale. Comes with everything you need to brew. Not interested in splitting anything up at this time. I live in Northern Utah and may meet up within a couple hours of my location, 84015 zip code. $3000.00 30 gallon Blichmann boil kettle with 5500w ULWD...

I run the hot water from the HLT to the MT through the herms coil so you shouldn't need to do anything to it. I run compressed air through my herms coil after my brew day but it wouldn't be necessary when doing back to back brews. For the MT, I would just toss the spent grains and hose it out...

I travel fairly often and exclusively use Uber and Lyft. Much cheaper than a DUI. I go over to a buddies house from time to time and he lives about 1.5 miles away. Uber and Lyft are readily available and use them in just that short of a distance. Never had a breathalyzer or used one. Knock...

I just looked at my panel and these are the ones shipped with my kit. Auber SRDA40 https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=30

I started off doing extract kits in a pony keg and quickly picked up two Rubbermaid coolers as MLT and HLT and fly sparged. I picked up a Concord 18 gallon kettle and shifted into brew in a bag and went electric. I picked up a false bottom from SoCal Brewing (JayBird) and bought a controller...

Just as I posted this a couple days ago, I brewed today and ran into a couple issues. I milled at .038" and added the grain to my mash tun with the pump running. After I got all the grain in and stirred up my full bore volume slowed down to a trickle and stopped. I scrapped the top of the...

As soon as I saw the title I was thinking Spanks A Lot. It looks like it's already going down that road....

I just put in for a job in Melbourne, (Patrick actually) and am looking for possible places to rent. Any suggestions, or places to stay away from? 2 grand a month or so.

I have three 5 gallon bottles I fill up at my local grocery store for .41 cents per gallon. I top the remaining 5 gallons of water off with my house water pushed through a charcoal filter. I had the water tested a couple years and compared it to my neighbors results. He had his water tested...

You can set the percentage of power that goes to the element from the ez boil. It also has the mash function that you are talking about. I have two of them on my panel and I like them. Really easy to use. Edit: I bought the brew buddy kit from Auberins and enjoyed building it. In hind...

Kal, from The Electric Brewery, runs full bore on his pumps during the mash and he uses 5/8" ID hose if I remember correctly. His setup runs 95% efficiency. I've always hit or exceeded my pre and post boil gravity numbers and it has resulted in great tasting beer. Should I check my...

I have a Blichmann 20 gallon kettle with their false bottom. My crush is .038" and I have only had a problem once. I poured all the grain into the mash tun all at once and it created some problems. I just pour a little in, stir, and repeat. My hose is 1/2" ID.

I run a similar system to The Electric Brewery and run full bore as well. As stated above, it allows for more steady temps. I really should check my efficiency, I keep coming in higher than expected on my pre boil gravity. I usually forget to check the gravity before I keg.
