Big Bertha needs a home 16 years 5 months ago #1

I really hate to do this, but I need to clear space...

I got a 50 litre glass carboy early this year from a former wine maker. It's big, and has a steel cage, slightly worse for wear, to help carry it (not full I hasten to add). It takes 50 litres to the top, but I'd say would have a 36-40 litre working capacity catering for Kräusen with no blow-off tube. I bought a holed and solid bung to fit it at great expense (actually, they were kinda dear at about €4 a pop), but as we've never used it, and it'll be a long time before I think we could, I think it's time Big Bertha moved to a new home where she will be nurtured and filled with wonderful warming wort.

I have no pictures, but it's a bit like this, except a bit squatter/rounder

It's currently filled with StarSan, so is pretty clean!

If someone is interested, let me know. You know where I am.

(will also take beer for the bungs <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->)

Adeptus, if you'd let me, I'd like to take responsibility of maintaining Big Bertha into her autumnal years. I promise to treat her well and never raise my voice in anger or impatience.

Are you still planning on going to the Honey Show November 3rd?

I'd love to fill her up but my brewlength isn't large enough....

Ichiban, that's great. I still plan on popping along, even if no mead is for sale, as it's only minutes from home. If the car is being brought we'll put her in the back and bring it along too.

Thanks Adeptus much appreciated. I'm going to the honey show so maybe we can arrange to meet, say 3pm in the hall/church?

Are you going for a few 'pinten des biers' Saturday night? I plan to make that and I hope to see you there.

Sounds good. We can firm up on details as the day approaches.

I certainly plan on being there, but am in negotiations with my wife who wants to get out of the city for the weekend. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
