I started brewing extract with specialty grains January 2010 and have moved into all grain by December 2010.

My equipment consist of a 10 Gallon Rubbermaid Cooler Mash Tun with ball valve, SS braid and thermowell. Keggle with ball valve, sight glass and thermometer. Therminator with in line chiller for those hot Florida summers. KAB6 propane burner. Several carboys, buckets and starting to convert pony kegs to fermentors, 7.2 cf Fermentation Freezer with Johnson Control. I bottle all my beer at this point even though I have a Party Pig that occasionally gets filled.
