So after being out of brewing for like a decade I decided to get back into it. I found a decent setup on marketplace a digiboil with digimash upgrade, 6 gallon fermonster, 5 gal carboy, bottling bucket, 5 gallon corny kegs and some other tools etc for $300.  I had seen a couple fast ferment conicals on marketplace I was interested in but the disappeared so I thought I was out of luck, then they popped back up again for free so I messaged the guy saying I would take both of them. Turns out he was getting rid of all of his home brew stuff and gave me his 3 tiered setup as well as a fermenters and another keg.  Since I didn't have a kegerator I started looking and found a free fridge on marketplace being sold by a kombucha brewery that had already been drilled for one tap, swung by picked it up and on my way home picked up a full 50lb cylinder from someone selling it for $150.  Everything is coming together pretty nicely. I figure with everything I will be able to decide if I want to go electric or propane have options for kegging or bottling. The fridge is pretty big so I will be able to lager and serve from it. |

Congrats, and welcome back! I've been back in it for a couple years after a 20 year hiatus.. Man, the times have changed! So much new stuff and technology. I've got an all in one.. Anvil foundry, and it makes thing so much simpler (at least for me). The yeast strains are great these days.. I don't even bother with liquid yeast, the dry yeast options are fantastic. |
