All Grain Brewing Beginner

[arommens]

Hello all. I want to get into all grain brewing and was wondering if i could get some feedback on this set up that i found online for sale for $2000. Here is the link http://princegeorge.kijiji.ca/c-buy...fts-BEER-BREWING-EQUIPMENT-W0QQAdIdZ255740039.

I don't know. Building your own is where most of the fun is. You could do it for less than 2000 bucks too.

I don't know. At high end the pump is about $150 new, kegs you can get those anywhere from free to about $50 maybe another $20 to cut them. The brewstand could probably be found for about $250-$600 and burners about $40 each, maybe $100 to assemble it all.

I would think about $1200 (high estimate) would be a better deal for a used setup like that but of course you don't have to take my word for it!

Well, what is 2000 in American dollars?

I recommend brewing with the gear first, if possible. That way you will know if it fits your needs.

two grand seems really steep for something like that. I can brew same quality 10 gal batches in my 60 qt pot and turkey fryier BIAB method for $200 all in I would rather spend that money on kegging equipment and may be conical fermenter if you have spare cash.

As of about Dec. 30th it's been better to buy with Canadian dollars.

$2000 is out of line. Really think about what you want out of your set up, do you need keggles for 10-12 gallon batches? I use a 4, 7.5, 10 and 25 gallon set of pots, a home made wort chiller, 2 turkey burners and a converted cooler mash ton. Some bought new, some from graigslist or ebay cheap and I am in MAYBE $200 bucks. When I got the 25 gallon pot ( thing is HUGE ) I thought WOW!! now I can MAKE BEER!! truth is, it gets used for club brew days and once me and a couple friends split a batch. just my 2 cents but.....think about need v.s want....and hey, if your rich....go for it....LOL!!
