New Brewer's Delight - Starter Gear

lexuschris · Post by **lexuschris** » Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:54 pm

Hey all,

As some of you have heard, I will be undergoing a major home remodel shortly, and need to move into a smaller place while under construction. As I look at my growing mound of brewing gear in the garage, I really need to part ways with much of the equipment I started with. I'd rather pass it along to a new brewer, than put it into storage, or other forgotten areas. All the items are priced in bottles of homebrew (or other alcohol of your creativity).

I will be posting the items below, 1 per post. First to PM me gets it. Details are on each item. I will mark them sold when it is gone.

I'd love to have folks pick it up either this weekend or next. I live in Corona Del Mar, and will be out of town for the Gunwhale gathering.

Thanks for helping to lighten by move, and increase my beer larder while in my temporary brewing hovel.

I'd take the growlers.

Also, I can refurb the regulator setup and add it to the club equipment. We have 2 manifold setups, but only 1 regulator for the club equipment.
