Well, after much waffling, I ordered this: http://www.homebrewadventures.com/s...=PROD&Store_Code=homebrew&Product_Code=MA-016
I decided I wanted 10 gallon capacity so I can do my 1.070+ beers with ease. I'd originally intended to build my own, but after pricing out all the equipment, I decided I couldn't really do much better than this. The only thing I really don't like are the spigots, but I can swap those out with stainless pretty cheaply in the future. A SS false bottom would be nice, too, but this will work and is a pretty good deal, IMO. I ordered it Monday night, and it's sitting on my front porch as I type.
If all goes according to plan, ORRELSE and I will be doing my first AG batch Saturday afternoon. His guidance will be valuable, as he's already done a few AG batches on his own. Otherwise, I'd be lost. We're going to do this ESB kit for simplicity's sake.
I'm taking another plunge as well.....more on that in the Bottling/Kegging forum.
I'm stoked!!!
