SOLD!

EDIT: SOLD pending payment Hey folks, I am selling all my gear! We're moving house and I no longer have the space. Truth is I don't brew much at home anymore anyway. What I have is a complete setup - 3V HERMS, fermenting, kegging, bottling, plus EVERYTHING you would ever need to brew top notch...

Wheat extract cans are only 50% wheat though aren't they? So he's only got 25% wheat.
