So without going into too much detail, I myself, don't personally own any homebrewing equipment. I have co-piloted numerous brews with a friend, and understand how you "brew beer". To me.. it's not too different from cooking, which I'm quite good at. I have an understanding of what needs to happen, and what can affect those results. I'm informed, if you will. Now, for the purpose of this post:
I'm in the market for an entire setup. Everything, literally. I'm stubborn, so everything must be new. Bottom line is I'm going for "excellent equipment". It doesn't have to be top of the line, thousands of dollars equipment, but I'm at the very least talking about stainless steel. Aside from the obvious brew kettle, I'm also talking about stainless mash tun, and conical fermenter. I've done extensive research, and while I've been able to rule a few options out, I still cannot come to a decision. I've been looking at SS Brewtech, Spike Brewing, Chapman, Megapot, and a few others.. I'm not interested in getting thousand+ dollar blichmann equipment. With all that being said.. what do people prefer? I'm sure this has been discussed, but to be quite honest, not only did I never fully master the forum search, I also never seemed to find the information I was searching for in doing so. Therefor, I'm relying on the mercy of the annoyed reader to just offer their advice, instead of some snarky comment about reading through the forums and finding the information that was given X amount of time ago, and by no means outdated.
Again, I'm in the market for an entire All-grain setup. Any and all suggestions and preferences are appreciated. I'll still read the snarky comments; probably even laugh (or cry).
