Hi guys,
I have never brewed before and don't have much interest in starting with extract. I also don't want to invest in equipment that I may outgrow quickly and have to invest in bigger stuff, Id rather take the hit upfront and save in the long run.
I'm quickly realizing that this can get expensive quick to do right. Here's a first go of what it seems would be a decent setup for an all grain brew.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to cut cost? It seems pretty hard for me to believe that people can do this right with proper temp control for a couple hundred dollars.
2 glass 6.5 gallon corbay + stoppers = 85
chest freezer = 200
dual stage temp controller = 80 dollars
10 galon Hot Liqour tank and mash/Lauter tun with false bottom and valves and tubes (kit) = 230
SS Wort chiller (3/8) + faucet adapter = 75
Propane Burner = 50.00
9 gallon brew pot = 58
Beer bottles 48 = 25
bottle capper = 12.99
bottle caps = 4.99
bottle rack = 16
bottle filler = 7
Siphon starter = 20.72
Digital thermometer = 19.99
Hydrometer testing = 20
Aluminum pitcher 12.99
PH strips = 7.99
Water conditioners = (chlorine remover, calcium) 20
Funnel = 10
Screen = 2.79
Stainless spoon = 7.99
Mash paddle = 5
Adds up to nearly 1000 dollars for what I feel like is everything I would need to get a decent all grain setup.
I know there's probably some corners I can cut, but for instance how can you possibly have good fermentation temp controller, with investing hundreds in a setup.
Thanks! I look forward to reading over this forum and taking in any knowledge offered!
