Found an ad on craigslist for homebrew equipment and set up a meeting to check it out tomorrow. I'll be looking specifically at the kettle, mash tun, and maybe the temp controller.
My question is, what do I need to know about inspecting used equipment? I was thinking I need to examine all the welded fittings, test out the valves, check for scratches/scorches, examine the thickness of the bottom of the kettles. Anything else I should know about purchasing used equipment?
Here's a pic of the kettles and stand, and a link to the post. Anything about this ad scream red flags?
Thanks so much, y'all are the best
