So, I've been doing all-grain for a while but want to upgrade and add a few things to my brewing arsenal. I'd like the ability to do 10 gallon batches in the future, but also am getting tired of bottling. I've got a budget of about $200 this go-round. I want to get your input on what would be the best items to purchase next, and in what order.
Here's my current setup:
Burner: Bayou Classic Turkey Fryer
Kettle: 7.5 gallon aluminum that came with burner
MLT: Rubbermaid 10g round cooler with copper manifold
Chiller: 25' copper immersion chiller
Bottling/Kegging: Currently bottling with a mix of 12 and 24 oz bottles
Fermenting: Upright freezer with Johnson Analong temp controller, holds 4 carboys.
Here's my wish list in no particular order
1. Bigger kettle, either 15 gallon aluminum or 15.5 "keggle" with ball valve and bozooka screen
2. sump/fountain pump for recirculating ice chiller (I have WARM tapwater
)
3. Kegging setup: 2x 5gallon cornies, CO2 tank, regulator, beer and gas lines, picnic tap(for now).
4. Barley Crusher (LHBS is good for me, so not a big want)
5. Other?
