A friend of mine's father passed away. Turns out he was a wine and beer maker. As my friend doesn't have any interest in brewing himself, he decided to give me all his dad's equipment (honestly I asked him severall times if he was sure). I guess it paid off to give him a bottle of each batch I made this past year. Here is what he gave me:
1 5 g glass carboy
1 5g plastic carboy
1 10g plastic carboy
1 fermenting airlock
1 6 foot siphon hose
1 carboy brush
1 bottle brush
2 5 gallon cornie kegs
1 5 gallon size CO 2 tank
2 Picnic taps
1 adapter for the co 2 tank.
.......needless to say, I have had a MASSIVE jump in equipment now and am preparing my jump to doing my own recipes within the year. All I will need is the gas hose and the CO2 regulator and I will be kegging my batches for new years eve!!!
Considering the equipment above is probably about $300, I figure I'll be giving him a bottle a batch for the next five years
