BeerBorg

Well I know I have been away from the borg for the summer, but man what a summer it was.

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

Sorry for your friend's loss, but that is a SWEET score! Especially the cornies and CO2 tank. He should be your official taste tester for ever!

I guess we'll be looking for you in the advanced section now.

Great score.

Dang! Great score, though not the greatest circumstances. Keep on brewing and now in honor of your friend's dad!

Sorry to hear of your friends loss. Please brew a beer in his fathers honor.

Sorry for your friends loss but what great score! Maybe you could brew one of your friends dad recipes in his honor.

Sorry for the loss. As other have said brew in his honor & develop a recipe in his memory!!!
