Acolyte of Fermentalism
Been doing this for 10 years now, but with a few hiatuses until last year when I found a brew buddy. I'm going to count gifts.
Let's see how accurate my <$2000 estimate was:
Kegerator: $545
- 2 cornies (130)
- CO2 tank and regulator (110)
- fridge (120)
- tower (120)
- temp controller (65)
Pots: $140
- 10G Al brew pot: (40)
- 5G SS pot: (60)
- 4G SS pot: (40)
Fermenters: $292
- 2x6G better bottles: (60)
- 2x5G better bottles (50)
- 3x7G buckets (45)
- 1x5G carboy (30)
- 3x3G carboy (75)
- 2x1G carboy (32)
5G MLT: $85
Mash paddle, autosiphon, wine whip, tubing, etc.: $15
Airlocks (8ish): $16
Refractometer: $35
Stir plate: $40
Erlenmeyer flask: $20
50' Immersion chiller: $70
2x Nice (metal-handle) growlers $50
$1308, very roughly. Not bad for a decade in the hobby. I didn't get everything for the best price, either. Didn't bother counting bottles.
