I'm migrating north and I've decided to sell my 3v setup to downsize to BIAB or a DIY BM. The rig has served me well doing single-batches, but is capable of double-batches. It's mobile - roll it in-and-out of the garage for brew day. A good starting point, it can easily be built on. I'm looking for $850 ono and I'm not splitting at this point. Details below. PM for more detailed picks if needed.
