OK, so due to circumstances I'm not brewing anymore. It's both due to familial obligations and health reasons. On top of this, I have a shittonne of medical bills from a stint of hospital visits with the entire family over the past few months and I need to get it all paid. I can't store it all anymore either and I need to get my focus right here. It's a sad day, considering everything I've achieved with this setup, but it is what it is at this point.
So, what I have for sale is a complete 50 litre BIAB (Brew In A Bag) system, including the kettle/boiler/mash tun, accessories with it, fermenters and fermentation chamber, full kegging setup with 4 kegs and 2 taps (with a party tap), as well as a large still I've built and used myself very successfully (as some might know). I'll list individual stuff below:
BIAB Setup:
1 x 50l Logik Urn, bypassed element, 1/2" ball valve to replace the stupid faucet, as well as a circulation pump on it's own 12V power source.
Huge custom grain bags and a hop bag I think for the big urn. Fits well with plenty of space to tie off and lift up. Link
1 x 25l Pineware plastic boiling bucket. This works well for smaller batches or to heat sparge water while the mash is happening. Link
6 x 25l Food grade white plastic buckets. Used these to transport water, for sparging, storing malt, etc. etc. One of them has a faucet fitted to be used as a bottling bucket.
1 x 10l White bucket, which I use to store sanitizer in.
1 x Autosiphon. Bigger one, but not the biggest one. It's seen better days, but it works. Comes with a PVC hose.
1 x Mangrove Jack's / Copper Tun 30l fermenter, the one with the big lid. Lid is cracked when it was on a table that fell over, but it works. With grommet and airlocks. Link
1 x Speidel 30l fermenter, the big barrel-like one, with stop-plug, rubber bung and airlock. This is an amazing fermenter. With the tap fitted and the cap on the top, it seals airtight so can be used as a no-chill cube. Link
1 x Food grade HDPE2 no-chill cube, with cap and cap spanner.
1 x Grain scale. It's a digital hanging scale I use to weigh out my grain in the buckets.
1 x Aluminium pot with lid, which I used to tiny batches back in the day. It fits the oven so keeping it at temp works well.
1 x Green plastic funnel
Set of food-grade, thick silicone hoses, not PVC. This stuff cost like R300 per meter, and I think there's 3 or 4 meters of it alone.
1 x Red bottle capper Link
1 x Brew spoon (long, 60cm one)
1 x Hydrometer
1 x Glass test tube, 100ml, for taking hydrometer readings
1 x Analog (glass) thermometer, quite accurate
1 x Malt Mill. It's an experimental mill with a gear drive and it takes some setting up, but it works well.
1 x Fermentation fridge. It's an old Kelvinator fridge that has two doors, one above the other. The entire inside is one open space though, so you can fit massive things (like a fermenter or a few kegs) in there with ease. The temp controller on this one broke due to load shedding but as a fridge it still works just fine, you'll just need another ~R200 controller. I'll include the electric blankets I used inside to raise the temp. I also used it as a lagering fridge, to store kegs cold for long periods. Worked well, specially with the party tap on there.
Green Grolsch swingtop beer bottles, 440ml. I'm not sure how many there are, but there are a few of them.
Several brown beer bottles, ranging from 250ml all the way up to 750ml.
Crates for the above bottles, I think there are 2 or 3 crates in total left.
Bottle carriers, for craft beer bottles. Lasercut steel carriers takes 4 or 6 bottles each, with a grip in the middle to carry them by. Handy if you're going to a braai and you just want to take a few along.
Carbonation drops, old, whatever I have left.
Anything else brewing I have around here. This includes yeast, hops, malts, cleaning and sanitizing stuff, etc. etc.
This is EVERYTHING you need to do a complete BIAB brew, from start to finish. All you need is ingredients (malt, hops and water) and you can get beer pumping. I have to add on this system I've done pretty well and did well in competitions with my beers as well.
BIAB Setup if I'm to sell on its own is R6,000.
Kegging Setup:
1 x Kelvinator chest freezer. This one is old, but it still works perfectly. I built a super tall collar for it so I can fit kegs not only in the base, but also on the compressor hump. It takes 3 corny kegs easily, but I'm thinkin it might actually fit 4 if you squeeze it up a bit.
2 x Flow control beer taps, mounted in the collar. Includes the shaft and JG fittings on the back. Link
1 x Party tap with 2m flexible beer line
4 x Corny kegs, all pin lock. 3 are refurbed Coca Cola kegs, and one is a newer Italian keg. All 19l though. Of them, 3 have new seals on them, and one I'm not sure on. Seals are like R20 though. Link
Disconnects for the kegs. I'm not sure how many there are, but there's at least enough to tap two kegs and to run the party tap
2 x 2kg CO2 cylinders, with turn valves. One is filled recently, and the other was used to carbonate/dispense 2~3 kegs, so it's also still pretty full
1 x MicroMatic Primary regulator. This was mounted on a tank and my kid bumped it over. The regulator's main gauge bent forward a bit, so the gauge sticks to the backing inside. So to check the pressure in the tank, you have to tap it or bend it back a bit to release the gauge needle, but it still works. I rarely use that gauge anyway, it's useless. The one that reads the pressure in the keg is perfect. Link
1 x STC-1000 temperature controller wired to the collar
Hoses, connectors, splitters, shutoff valves, etc. etc. for the kegging setup all included.
This is everything you need to start kegging as well, from start to finish. Nothing more required.
Kegging Setup if I'm sell on its own is R10,000.
Distillation Setup:
1 x 50l Keg still. 50l disused keg that I converted to an electric still (safer). The keg has three SS legs welded to the bottom to make it stand up, and I wrapped it in a neoprene wrap to keep temperatures up inside during running. It also has a 1" SS barrel nipple welded to the bottom that has a 1", 3-piece SS ball valve fitted. On top of that I had a threaded standard SA geyser ferrule welded in the bottom as well, so it takes a standard cheap geyser element to heat up and run the still. It also has a proper 2" ferrule welded to the top.
1 x 3,500W geyser element
On top I have a 2" copper column, with SS triclamps (included). The top of the column is soldered to 2 x 1" pipes, one blocked off with a temperature probe hole in it. The other goes to the lyne arm.
The lyne arm is a 1" copper lyne arm, that runs into a 15mm coil condenser. The condenser is in a bucket, but leaks somewhat. Doesn't effect working though so I don't bother with it.
To control the still I built a control box from an SSR and a fan to cool it down. You control it by reading the amps going into the element and it works amazingly well.
1 x Set of alcohol hydrometers
1 x Glass hydrometer tube, 100ml
1 x Tub of yeast that I use for fermenting
Some chemicals and stuff that could come in handy.
500g Copper mesh you can use to stuff the column with if you wish.
On top of the above I also include all my glassware, including jars, bottles, growlers and other stuff I used to make some pretty decent spirits. I came second at a brewing comp with the rum and coke I made with this setup before.
I'll also include some oak that I have here, as well as some spices and stuff you can use to make your own. I'll also add the last bit of molasses I use, and even explain to you how to easily make your own spiced rum that turns out VERY well.
This is the complete setup with everything you'll need to make your own spirits. It can be rum, whisky, gin, etc. etc. You just need ingredients.
Distillation Setup if I'm to sell it on its own is R7,500.
Or, as I said, take everything for R20k and split it yourself.
I've got some beer left in the kegs that I need to finish up first, and I'm going to ask if I can make one batch of whisky and one batch of rum for old times' sake before it all gets taken, but that shouldn't take long. For the most part, it's all ready to go then.
Hit me up, guys!
