FreeCycle is the Biz

[Robbo]

I've just come back from picking up 4 glass Demijohns, 12 wine bottles and a 3 tier wooden wine rack from a nice chap who had put them up for offer on FreeCycle.

I'm absolutely made up.

Jammy git! Very rarely see brewing kit on my local ones...

Same here keep looking but never find any brew stuff locally

I've got the Home Brew Forum to thank as I didn't know about Freecycle until i came across a post which mentioned it.

I joined my local one Monday gone and this morning there was a post with the DJ's, bottles and wine rack. I got in touch with the guy offering these items and he said I was beaten to it, another person was coming to collect. This person didn't turn up and I was second in line and was contacted and asked to come and pick the items up.

Didn't need to ask me twice.....mint

I've not done so good with the freecycle for brewing stuff, I done OK on eBay, got 12 DJs for a tenner, and some cases for a few quid, but I did get a wicked Sony turntable from freecycle

12 Demi's for a tenner is a steal.

It's been a long time since I last seen a turntable.

Yeah, freecycle's great. I got my first 5 DJs from there.
Since then I've picked up 4 DJs and a 25L FV from the charity shop attached to our local tip.
DJs are £1 each, the FV was £2.

I thought I had enough, but now think I could do with another FV so I can get two big brews on at the same time ...

Hi, I got good results by putting a wanted ad on freecycle (16x dj's, 3xfv's and more thermometers and hydrometers etc than I can shake a brewing spoon at)!!

I managed to get an FV, a bottling vessel and an FV heater band from the Oxford Freegle (alternative FreeCycle) a few months ago. :thumb:

I got the entire Sony stack system in a cabinet, with 4 speakers, and an entire 1964 collection of Encyclopedia Britannica from the same guy
