And to think I started this thread out of curiosity. Just wanted to see how many other cheapsk-I mean minimalists there are out there.
We are not alone...

Gotta love metal sawhorses. I tried bricks, but I couldn't get the right height. I used this method for 20+ batches. I've now moved on to more, stable means... lol
I used to do 10gallon batches this way too. But with all the heat and weight, the sides of the sawhorses started to bow.
I brewed on this for 6+ years. This picture is just before boiling so the Home Depot MLT is on the driveway for hosing out... I saved my pennies and built a RIMS system (3 years) but I still brew with my cooler and pot once in a while. It has a certain appeal the RIMS can't duplicate.
I'll have to take a pick of my floating styrofoam/al.-foil lid for BIAB in my 4 gallon stock pot. It has paperclip handles.
If you're not fermenting in a room temperature closet, cranking your mill by hand, and split-boiling on the stovetop because it starts raining, you're not ghetto.
This is my 'garage' for keeping the weather off.
I dont want pumps because I'm not into "fancy" stuff.
I just want to make good beer and be able to drink good beer while doing it.
6 years of brewing and your cinderblocks still look brand new.... how do you do that?
looks like a nice setup to me!
