Hey Everyone, this is my first post on here and am hoping to get some thoughts around a setup I am considering. I currently brew extract and have been using a basic kit from Northern Brewer. I'd like to upgrade my equipment to take my brewing to the next level and want to make sure I can expand upon the equipment over time (moving to 10 gallon batches, switching to all grain, going electric, etc.). My goals at this time are to get a new kettle, pump, and plate wort chiller. Right now I am considering:
Pro Flow Dynamics 15 gallon brew kettle - http://store.proflowdynamics.com/modules/store/Boil-Kettle-Kit_P1259181C12074.cfm
Chugger SS Inline pump - http://store.proflowdynamics.com/modules/store/Chugger-SS-INLINE_P722351C37352.cfm
Pro Flow Dynamics Camlock fittings
Dudadiesel 30 plate wort chilller

For now I would still use glass carboys for fermentation.
Thoughts on the above choices for a setup? Am I investing in the right areas? I haven't seen much information on the Pro Flow Dynamics kettle but it seems like a good build and it has the ball valve, thermometer, and sight gauge already installed. Trying to maximize value while still giving myself room to grow.
Appreciate any advice you all may have!
