I was JUST about to head to that auction site to offload a spare fermentor I have, then I thought of you guys. I plan to relieve myself of a 15 gallon Mini-Brew Plastic Conical fermentor NIB. These are the poop for 12gal batches of beer, wine or mash.

Anyone interested.

got any pictures. i'm thinking of startin back up and have been lookin around for some equip.

something I'd love to do if you couls increase the hours in a day by 6.

or decrease the hours of work by 6.

I'd love to do this, but my budget is built more to buying an entire kit vs trying to piece together the equipment.

Sarah would kill me, LMAO.... "Patrick, why are there 20 to 30 jugs of water stored up in our closet? Uh, honey, that ain't water!"


man, how shiney the moon would be...

Country

I'm interested

Email me before you buy anything; I don't have "kit" type stuff anymore, but I can perhaps help you steer clear of some of the junk that is out there. You really don't need that much stuff for beer or wine.

Thanks andy, I'll do that. I saw a bunch of crappy kits that are "just add water", but I actually want to mix my own ingrediants. One place I was looking at had the pot, fermenter, blah blah blah all together for a discounted "kit" price.

I definately want to bottle my beer, so I need all those cool topper thingies.

You DON'T want an "add water kit". You are cheated from learning the science and artistry behind brewing and you will not be that happy with the result. You can brew 5-gallon partial extract batches for a minimum investment. In essence, you will prepare a basic beer from malt extract, and add the appropriate grains for flavoring and coloring the style you select. Their is nothing "artificial" about this method, it just prevents you from having to perform the conversion and extraction of sugars from malted barley.

If you are serious, go to www.beertools.com. They are a wealth of info; you may even find some of my old posts in their forum. My favorite supplier was homebrewadventures.com.

Get a kit that has a bucket fermentor, capper, etc. Buy a 5 gallon stainless pot from K-Mart. You don't need THAT much more stuff for small batches.

I brewed all-grain beers, which are more time consuming and equipment critical (but Mmmmmmm). Nevertheless, if done properly, extract batches will produce terrific beers.

Have an email addy so we can converse without cluttering up your post? I have a wealth of questions.

Jeez..........Sorry all, I thought I posted it;

thats my work addy. I'm too busy at home to screw around. 🙂

I've probably got an entire "kit"; bucket, 48 bottles, capper, bottling bucket and glassa carboy, just laying around here somewhere. Haven't brewed beer in a couple years. I am considering starting again, but it will still be limited runs of a few cases to store up and drink. It will also depend on the size of the place I move into this summer when we relocate.

The picture of the conical was sweet. A fellar could lay up a sweet supply of wine fairly quickly with one of those.

Hey Andytv,
You gave some great advice there. I used to do all grain, but I decided it was way too much work (Translates to I'm a lazy ****). I use the partial mash method now. I stick to 5 gallon batches, because my cornelius kegs are that size. That conical is really for someone who knows what they like enough to brew 15 gallons at a time.
Good luck with your trade.

P.S. sorry about the threadjack
