Your best equipment find?
|
|
About two weeks ago, I found an almost full "Basic Starter Kit" at a Goodwill store for $6 bucks.
Only thing it's missing is the Ale Pail with the spigot, but it came with an extra hydrometer, sterilizing solution, and digital thermometer, so I can live with a missing bucket.
Quick six bucks upgraded my brewing capacity by a third. 
What've you guys found on the cheap?

I scored a Keggle with ball valve and thermometer, 4 seven gallon carboys, 50' imersion chiller, a pump and other assorted smaller goodies all for $100. It made the conversion to 10 gallon batches pretty cheap!

Last night I picked up a True 3 keg draft cooler for free.... from a fellow homebrewer who is moving & wanted to keep it in the hb family. MAJOR score. I almost wet myself driving it home. 
• Nice upright fridge for free
• 2 Sanke kegs for $30
• 20 lb CO2 bottle for $30
• 2 7gal carboys for $24
• 9 cases of bottles for $25
These were all craigslist scores.
