Since I got this a year ago ive started brewing more often and in smaller batch's. think ive only used it 4 times, hard to justified the cost. it cost me about €880, so I'd be looking for at least €750. (next thing i'll be selling my 70L boiler that took me so long to make :'( )

Can u post pic of the boiler

Cahalbrua

Haven't convinced myself I need to sell it yet after all the work I've put into it, but it wouldn't be cheap its double skinned with 2 hobs attached to the bottom(could do with a 3rd hob to get temp up quicker), sight gauge and Thermometer 3" Dial Face.

Will try and get some pic's. rossa got a pic of me and the 3 shinny's at are National Homebrew Day.

Its the pot beside the speidal
I'll get some more photos and start a new thread when I work out what it cost to build.


Gugs44

Cheers for that, might b a stupid question but what do u mean by '2 hobs'?? Nice lot of shinny things with a braumeister, would love one but can stretch to 1500 quid at the moment but seriously thinking bout investing after watching some vids of it online

Covey

@Gugs44 two of these a 1.8kw and a 1.3kw. the braumeister is james keane's my boiler is the pot beside it.
@Covey you can buy them off this guy http://www.brewbuilder.co.uk/ or buy the thermos pots and convert them yourself that's what I did. I haven't got the details of the german ebay shop i bought them off, i think ciderhead got some recently. if no luck there ask or search on jims.
