Used Equipment?

Post by John Sand »

I have a chance to buy some stuff for a good price. But I don't really need it right now. Three fermenters, two carboys, capper, hydrometer, bottle tree, wort chiller, caps, gaskets, 200 bottles. I think they only want $50 to a good home. That's a great deal, but all of the stuff would be spares or waiting for the next step (ie, lagering in the carboys). I do love a bargain, but I would have to go get all the stuff and then store it. Or if I decided to turn some over, then I have to list it and so on. Maybe I'll see if they'll break up their cache. What do you think?

Go for it. I'd be leary about any plastic fermentors as the scratches can harbor ickies to eff with future brews, but the rest sounds good.
