Lots of winemaking stuff near Milwaukee, WI

This is all off the market now - a family member is going to pick up the wine-making torch for the family. Thanks to those who responded !

I'm going to get out of the hobby. I've got quite a bit of stuff I accumulated over the past year or so - hopefully looking for somebody to come take it off my hands in one batch - I would prefer not to sell individual items yet...

Here is a rough list of what I have. If you are in the area, e-mail me and I can provide an exact list of what is all included:

- 3 glass 6-gallon carboys
- Plastic fermentation pail with lid
- various airlocks, bungs, etc.
- Auto-siphon and bottling adapter
- Floor standing corker - red one from Midwestsupplies.com
- 4 1/2 dozen 'Ninnany Ale' blue beer bottles - purchased new - no labels - good for wine coolers
- 2 dozen mix & match green wine bottles
- 126 bottle 'Swedish Wine Rack' - unfinished wood - was $250 from Amazon
- Medical aspirator - used for degassing wine - purchased new for $180

Plus, I will throw in my current wine inventory, which is about 80 bottles. Includes (approximate) 20 bottles of each:

Vintner's Reserve Pinot Blanc - bottled January 2011
Johannisberg Dry Riesling (Selection Original) - not bottled yet
Chilean Merlot (Selection International) - bottled December 2010
Montepulciano (Vino Italiano) - bottled November 2011

All told I easily have $700 or more invested, and I have the receipts to prove it. Everything is less than a year old, and everything was purchased new. I would sell the whole batch for $400 if anybody locally wants it.

Again, not looking to sell the individual pieces yet - would prefer one sale of the whole lot.

Thanks - PM me if you are interested !

Jon wish I was closer to you. Sorry to hear you're getting out of the hobby but best of luck to you in which ever hobby you pick up next.

Thanks guys. The problem is the hobby is TOO good. Having a cheap source of good alcohol around the house isn't always a good thing!

Ahhh, sorry to hear that. Me myself I dont really drink much at all and am more involved in making then drinking although I had a friend over last night and caught a nice buzz!!!

I found a family member to take all of the equipment, so it can all be considered sold. Thanks to those who responded !
