I am a relatively new homebrdwer. I have done five 5gal batches from extract thus far. I am ready to go into all grain batches, I think. I would like equipment recomendations. Igloo? Rims system? Zapa lauter tun? There are so many items out there that it makes my head spin...
here in southern california, gas seems way cheaper than electric so I will likely work with a propane system. Eventually I will probably build a beer sculpture from 80/20 aluminum extrusion. I have worked with this stuff before in industrial manufacturing and it is awesome! But I have noticed that nobody uses AL for their home breweries... why?
I would like to start simple and add complexity/automation to my system as I go. I have a very tight beer budget and must build piecemeal.
Any and all recomendations area most welcomed!
