I've had two sankey kegs in my garage attic for years and they need to go. $40 for both. Spears have been removed so they're ready for conversion to keggles. Pickup only in Indianapolis / Broad Ripple area.

I recently purchased a 3-stage RO system from @Buckeye_Hydro (absolutely fantastic company to deal with) and am wondering if there will be an appreciable difference in membrane life or output water quality if I feed it with softened water rather than unsoftened muni water. Here in Indianapolis...

Three 7-gallons fermonsters. Two have never been used. Purchased locally and ended up switching to stainless fermenters. All three for $40. Local pickup only in Broad Ripple area.

This work table: https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/work-benches/stainless-steel/no-backsplash/72-x-30-18-gauge-stainless-steel-workbench It's just a bit too large for my brewing space $75 OBO. Pick up in Indianapolis / Broad Ripple area.

We bought a walk-in cooler at auction which had three 1/2 kegs in it. I can't find a liquor store to take them back without tracking sticker. Local pickup in Indianapolis only (seriously, the deal is for all four kegs). Near 16th & College. $100 OBO. They'll need a good cleaning!

Four legit keggles bought from Geemacher about two years ago. Have been used for yeast propagation at Hotel Tango Distillery in Indianapolis. All have either a 2" or 1 1/2" TC TIGged to the bottom by Southside Steel. Speer has been removed from all. Cost is $125 each. It's more than a stolen...

Equip: 80 quart Concord w/ ColoBrewSys solid-sided basket; 5500 watt element. My problem: 5 gallon batches are a challenge. the bottom mesh of my basket is about 2 1/2" off the bottom of the kettle. At 18" diameter that's 1.1 gallons per inch of height. So before I even start my grain is...

I'm about four batches into dialing in my small BIAB system. First one I got (both from ColoBrewSys) was 160 quarts -- a bit large for 5 gallon batches. Bought a smaller 80 quart kettle with 5500 watt element. I just did my fourth batch of EdWortsHausPale -- not necessarily because I like it so...

I recently "reboxed" my element controller after after taking receipt of a new kettle. When I initially powered on the PID I got the orAL message. I powered down to measure the resistance of the RTD and found: R(1) - W 106 ohms R(2) - W 143 ohms R - R 53 ohms Measuring the XLR...

1 1/4" 304 stainless steel tubing required to make the attached plans. Decided to go the BIAB route before I got this tigged together for me. Purchased for $450 from Steel House in Indianapolis. Do not tell my wife. Free + a few beers to a good home. Local pickup in Broad Ripple only.

Well it's spring time here in Indy. Again this year that means a garage brewery reorg. I've nearly gotten rid of the last vestiges of my 3V setup and have wholly embraced BIAB. Also got around to installing my on demand water heater and HFT lift. All coming along nicely. Now my gripe: I...

I started out with a traditional discrete component control panel for my 3-vessel brewery. About a year ago I switched to a single vessel BIAB configuration and so gutted much of the panel. End of last year I was hired to develop implement automation at a distillery Indy. I thought no better...

In my excitement to switch from a classic 3-vessel rig to eBIAB I purchased a 160 quart kettle from Colorado BS. It's a fantastic piece of kit for large brews. Much less than 20 gallons and it doesn't work so well. It's absolutely impossible to brew a 5 or 6 gallon batch as nearly 8 gallons of...

(2) five-gallon and (2) six-gallon carboys for $40 + some of your homebrew. Pickup Broad Ripple area of Indianapolis. Common, you know you want these!

Subject says it all. Switching to PET. $65 for all four. Indianapolis / Broad Ripple area.

Three bottom-drain keggles. "Tops" (really the bottom) removed; lids for all three and 1 NorCal hinged false bottom included. I'll throw in three 2" stainless ferrules so you can drop them off at your local welding shop . Switched to 160 quart eBIAB so no longer need these. $250 for all.

I've been wondering why it's necessary to "boil" in the boil kettle. By "boil" I mean adding enough heat to the wort to induce a phase change. We've all seen that there's a lag between the time we get to the (theoretical) boiling point and then a lag until the wort actually starts to boil. My...

Anyone up for a grain group buy?

I purchase raw cider (this year at 12.5 brix) from my LHBS. SOP is to dose with .1g of kMeta 24 hours before pitching. I add Distillavite GN and nutrients and pitch US-05 or some other neutral yeast (I like a clean, simple cider) and ferment at 67*. I'm five days in and I'm getting...

20 years ago before kids I roasted my greens almost weekly. Well, my oldest is a senior in high school and my youngest is six (long story dont ask) so I guess it's about time to dust off the Poppery I's and start roasting again. I'm a former french press users that switched to Aeropress about...
