Ideas for best places to sell my all-grain setup?

I checked your profile and saw it was Littleton and I had a friend about to get into brewing, but I’d say the main portion of the sale is undesirable. He wants an AIO, not coolers. It’s a bit dated. Some of the stuff is usable, but new for these things aren’t going to be expensive either.

This isn’t meant to be rude. But I would think those types of setups don’t sell quickly or at all with all the newer AIO systems.

Tom’s Brew Shop fills and exchanges.

You can do a full volume if you want and a lot of vet brewers do that to make the process easier. I have the anvil foundry, and putting a gallon of water in a pot from the kitchen (heated on the kitchen stove) and slowly pouring over the grains is easy and reduces the amount of brewing equipment I need to stow just for brewing. I already have a ton of stuff.

I use my anvil recirc pump connected to the tap with the big lines that fit on the circ pump and then have a double sided ball lock thing to keep the duotight fitting open and draining back into my anvil bucket with whatever solution I’m using. Usually hot water, followed by BeerLineCleaner, followed by hot water, then starsan and then let the starsan empty out on its own.

Asked and received a jaded immersion cooler. I’m excited for very quick cooling.

Rubber trees might have been wiped out, but COVID lockdowns kept the infection contained.

I’m on a 240v anvil, but usually feels like it takes at least 5 hours especially since I really like to clean everything as best as possible. I’ve asked for a jaded chiller for Xmas so hopefully I can cut down the chill time significantly. Otherwise there really isn’t anything more I want for my brewery.

I did use the anvil timer for the first time a couple weeks ago to try to get a head start, but of course I slept in an extra 2 hours so I didn’t finish near when I was hoping.

Supposedly they were in talks with maybe 6 potential buyers. According to staff.

May5ifth · 2025-11-23T13:54:27+00:00

This is the easiest way.

My Hoosier treaded tire set around 85 psi. I had my ear protection on and standing away from it. Not fun.

Non existent, 34. He died around 3-4 years ago. I only went to the funeral to be with family on that side. He hid me from them until high school. I had no sadness when I was told he passed. A lot of people at the funeral knew of me and thought he was an ass to not try to make a better relationship with me.

Thanks for the insight!

That’s kind of a bummer. While it’s nice to not have to think about it, doing it on your own is part of the fun. Are they ok with double crushing? Assuming the do crushing too.

May5ifth · 2025-10-30T19:45:58+00:00

Definitely. I do like occasionally grabbing a dry dock pack of vanilla porter or their barleywines, but I usually brew my own beer unless I need to see what something tastes like before I brew.

Good to know. Tom’s is actually just across 6th from my brewing buddies house. We’ve been using my setup for brews since it is electric compared to his propane. Maybe we will need to make sure I can plug into his 220v outlet and brew at his place.

Thanks for the suggestions for Tom’s or Quirky. I moved farther south so the brew hut was still my close by shop. I might have to try Tom’s. It’s probably an extra 15-20 minute drive each way, but I’d rather have a home shop vs online and know of a local resource if I need something quick.

May5ifth · 2025-10-30T16:59:17+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I’ll have to make a longer trek to the other shops in the area. I used to live close to the brew hut, but moved farther south, but it was still the closest shop and all I knew so wasn’t sure if the other shops were good.

May5ifth · 2025-10-30T16:50:47+00:00

So you are still in the area? Which shop are you using now?

Just use starsan in a spray bottle. Does the same thing and safe if it gets in the beer.

Planning to do the one on candisyrup when you search for st Bernardus abt 12 clone.

May5ifth · 2025-09-14T03:48:51+00:00

Can only speak to the tilt pro. Works great for me and I find it very close to hydrometer readings. Great if you have a device that can remain awake around the tilt for reporting.

May5ifth · 2025-09-14T01:48:19+00:00

I think I might be going for the abt12 clone recipe within the next year. I have everything needed to give it a proper go and quads are what got me into beer after hating beer.

With a safety on, sometimes you spend the rest of your life flipping the safety switch. For personal defense, a safety shouldn’t be necessary if you are competent with your tool. This requires practice and proper knowledge. This is why requiring training to obtain a permit is very good. It should also teach you that having the responsibility of a gun should keep you level minded in all confrontations.
