I made a shopping list of items to buy from my B&M, based on the Brewer's Best Deluxe Kit(my kit has the larger Better Bottle Carboy, the one I prefer to try)
6 Gallon Better Bottle Carboy $28.50
5/16" Bottle Spigot $2.85
Two Food Grade Buckets(from grocery) $0.00
Lid with Grommet $2.80
Book(already own Joy of Homebrew) $0.00
Alklaine Wash 16 oz $7.25
Red Barron Capper $18.25
Triple Scale Hydrometer $6.50
Drilled Stopper $2.50
Hydrometer Test Jar 14" $3.75
Floating Thermometer $6.50
Liquid Crystal Thermometer $2.45
Siphon Hose $1.35
Hose Clamp $0.40
21" Plastic Spoon $3.95
Airlock $0.95
Auto-siphon $10.95
Bottle Filler $2.45
Bottle Brush $2.95
Total Standard $104.35
Extras
Whirlfloc Tablets $1.95
8" Funnel with strainer $7.25
San Star 8 oz $10.95
Carboy Cap $2.75
Carboy Handle $7.15
Total with Extras $134.40
Brewer's Best Kit $140.00
So it appears I can get everything I need, plus more for much cheaper then buying a kit (since I'll get the buckets cheap and got the book already).
Anything I'm missing?
