I am relatively new to this forum and I am an extract brewer looking to test my ability to do some all grain brewing. So, let me start off by saying "sorry" if this thread has already been done 100 times already.
I'm looking to purchase all grain brewing equipment, but I do not want to do what I did with extract brewing (buy cheaper equipment, realize how much easier things would have been if I spent an extra $50 and upgraded a few items, and purchased upgrade after upgrade, after upgrade). On the other side of the coin, I'm not 100% sure I want to go balls-out and spend $1500 or more on some shiny new keg kettels, etc. I've seen many impressive setups looking at your personal profiles.
So now the question...Who can steer me in the right direction on where to get some GOOD all grain brewing equipment without killing my bank account?
Also, is there anything you spent a ton of money on that you realized was a total waste later?
