Right now I have the basic AG set up, mash in a 10g cooler, brew on a propane burner, chill with IC. For the past year I have been using this I have consistantly made good beer.
I am looking at brew stands, pumps, plate chillers etc. They all look great, but do they really make the process all that much easier? When I think about it, I imagine it could actually take longer to complete a batch. As you have a lot of hoses and equipment to sanatize then clean after. I only brew 5g batches and have no interest in upgrading to 10g (I know people say that all the time and change their mind!).
I was interested to hear from people with advanced set-ups comment and see if it is really worth the investment.
Thanks
