Got 9 extract batches ( all with specialty grain steeping) under my belt and want to take it up a notch. My favorite part about home brewing, even more so than drinking the beer confused, is the brewing process itself. I'm looking to upgrade, but want to make smart decisions. First and foremost, I need to do full boils for the sake of beer quality, so I'm pretty sure a 8-10 gallon kettle will be the first new purchase. Propane burner probably in conjunction with it. I'll eventually go AG, but want to maybe try BIAB for a bit first before buying too much more equipment. Some sort of fermentation chamber would be nice so i can try lagers. Any suggestions what can make my brew day even more fun as I try to take a step up? Already have the following: IC, 6 gal Better Bottle, 5 gal carboy, 6.5 gal ale pail, 2 bottling buckets (with most bottling related stuff), digital scale and thermometers (though they kinda suck)...
