i don't even want to think about it... but i have a loving wife and inlaws who gifted me a number of items (chest freezer on the right along with the 3 tap tower and my 20 gallon kettle and the 10 gallon cooler for the mash tun, old boss gave me the mini fridge)

i have a welder and a ton of tools so the building of everything was pretty easy. But i've been through so much equipment i do'nt even want to know at this point what i've spent or haven't spent

For those lacking welding equipment(and can't afford to pay a welder) and not wanting a wood stand... haunt second hand stores and find a solid metal base cabinet like I did for $5. Former life was a 3m AV stand... found it in an auction house and got 2 for $10.

Ugly, dirty, and nasty with mouse leftovers... but some sanding and priming later...

Bolted on some pieces of unistrut for the cost of $25

$30 in shelf brackets and standards later

Add in $30 in spray paint and my brew stand minus the burners was only $100 with misc nuts/bolts scrap lumber...

Burners were only $50 each bringing it to $250 total. I have 3 propane tanks already so no cost there.

There are a lot of nice set ups on this thread. I'm saving up for a nicer set up at the moment, currently using the standard $75 basic set up.

I have to keep the wife aggro down. =\

Initial equipment set $75
Two bayou burners $50
Freezer and controller $275
2 carboys $60
8 gal kettle $10
16 gal kettle $20
Misc tubes siphons etc $30

$520ish bucks. Plus no telling how much on hops, grains, yeast.

Starter set before jumping to AG (buckets and 3g kettle) 130
6.5g glass 50
5.5g glass 50
6.5g plastic 50
10g Igloo cooler 40
10g Blichman 300
Blichman burner 120
Chiller 60
Storage racks for garage 200
Fermenting freezer+thermocouple 400
Kegerator freezer+thermocouple 400
4 kegs, Taps, hoses, harfdware, etc 500
Glassware growlers, etc 300

All prices above are clearly estimates but rough count is 2500+ which doesnt count a lot of smaller stuff you have to buy over time like fittings, starsan, hoses and propane. Luckily i dont buy much anymore aside from grains and hops!:rockin:
