I have 3 Ritchie plastic barrels for sale. I no longer use them as I switched to Cornelius kegs some time ago and I need the storage space. These barrels are pretty unique and are no longer manufactured. They were top of the plastic keg range when they were made. They are different to other...

Did what might be the last major brew for some time on my 3V kit over last weekend, so plenty of photos. I have just bought a 50L Braumeister and I expect to use this in the future for most of my brewing. I brewed a 45L batch of Belgian Wit. Screen shots from Beersmith2. Ingredients were as...

For sale is a 60L thermopot which has been converted into both a boil kettle and a mash tun. Overall dimensions are 630mm high (including the skirt) and O/D 460mm. Weight is approximately 17kg. The pot has a fabricated stainless steel skirt fitted, within which is positioned the pipework for the...

Having recently purchased Chugger pumps my two 24V Magnetic Coupled pumps are up for sale. These were purchased from Homebrewbuilder (http://www.brewbuilder.co.uk) just over a year ago and are in an excellent clean condition. They are in full working order. These pumps offer massive amounts of...

I really enjoy the construction side of home brewing, but there comes a time when you have to reflect on what you've got and what you actually need, particularly as you get older. I've come to the reluctant conclusion that I have built too much brewing equipment for any present and possible...

I would like to buy a Blichmann HopRocket. Does anyone want to sell one? Good price paid if in good condition. Please pm me. Thanks.

I have moved into mainly kegging and occasional bottling by the pint with crown caps now, so I have a large number of the old type brown glass quart flagons with internal screw stoppers for sale. They are sometimes known as cider quart flagons. All of them are in excellent condition and very...

Over the past year I have upgraded my three vessel brewery, so I have a redundant 70L stainless steel boil kettle and a 50L stainless steel mash tun for sale. I will post the boil kettle sale separately, so this post will be about the mash tun. The mash tun was crafted from a Bergland...

I previously posted in instalments the construction of My Electric Brewery and since completing the project I have made further changes in the light of using it.

Now that the brew pots and HERMS pot have been made, I will of course need a brew stand to put the pots on and pumps to make it all work. I previously described on the Forum how I have adapted mrlard’s 24v pumps and these will be used with no further changes (viewtopic.php?f=23&t=46600)...

Just a quickie - now fitted handle to mash tun lid. Makes using it so much easier! Hangs on back of pot as well when stirring-in grain. Also calibrated sight glass. Pot now ready to go.

The sight glass, recirculation ball valve, output ball valve and heating element are identical to, and are mounted in exactly the same way as, the fittings on my HLT described in earlier posts (viewtopic.php?f=13&t=48378 and viewtopic.php?f=13&t=48416). So I will not dwell on any more detail...

With the mash tun completed it was time to start on the boil kettle. As for the HLT, I’m using one of mrlard’s high-end 100L stainless steel pots. The pot will have the same fittings as the HLT – 3 piece ½” BSP ball valve, sight glass, 5500kW element and recirculating ball valve. In...

Time now to fit the outlet ball valve. Although I am using a ½” ball valve and ½” BSP fittings, the skin fitting used for the drain on this build is actually a 1” BSP fitting. This is only because I had the 1” fitting left over from another build project some time ago and it meant I...

Now the Christmas break is over I have started work on the mash tun. I’m using the usual Bergland thermopot and the size is 80L, which is bigger than I have used before, but more in keeping with my completed 100L HLT and proposed 100L boil kettle. All the thermopots I have converted in the...

I previously posted on the Forum the construction of my first HERMS pot, made from a second-hand 10L Baby Burco that I purchased for the grand sum of £6.50 on Ebay. Here’s the construction link: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=43400. I’ve used it twice in brews and it worked well, but now was the time...

As part of my Electric Brewery build, I have followed the recommendations of “The Electric Brewery” website and purchased the “Chillus Convolutus” counter flow chiller from the US site Morebeer: http://morebeer.com/category/counterflo ... llers.html. This is a robust piece of equipment...

Started on the second phase of the HLT build today. Apart from the leak testing, it is now nearly complete. I promised SWMBO that I would not do any more brewery work leading up to Christmas, so the boil kettle will have to wait until the New Year. I've used the same weldless tap technique to...

I’ve started the build on the HLT now, using one of Homebrewbuilder’s high-end 100L pots (http://www.homebrewbuilder.co.uk/). I used a 20.4mm Qmax cutter to cut a ball valve hole 3 inches from the bottom inside of the pot. I am using a weldless fitting to join the valve to the pot and a...
