Free Dan Hess.
As a community, I've noticed that brewers tend to be more resourceful than a lot of hobbyists. If it can be purpose built, or repurposed, it goes into the system. I'm on the repurposing side. Stack of Sterilite totes in the corner of the garage? Those are great basins for bottle cleaning, star San storage, bottle conditioning, drying spent grains...
Milk crates that have been collecting dust at work for ten years? Tell the janitor to trash em, then throw them in the car. Free drying racks. Father in law got a great smoker and doesn't fry turkeys anymore? Grab that burner, and the pots and baskets. Bam, free kettle. I've built a workable brew system for next to free. Less than $100 bucks.
Where's your free stuff? How are you using it?
Here's that drying rack. Paint cans are filling a void where there's no slots for bottles.
