I did a bit of searching but didn't find a topic specific to my question. What upgrades to your equipment have you done, that you wish you had done from day 1 which would have saved money, headaches, and provided a much better beer? This is a very open ended question and am wondering if you wish you had gone BIAB/all grain or maybe electric from the start. Maybe getting a fermentation chamber made a huge change in the quality of your beer. Maybe it's as simple as getting a better quality burner, pot, or thermometer. Just curious to hear what you think would have been beneficial from day 1.
With that question out of the way, a little background as to why I ask. In my younger days I was into working on cars. Spent money on a supercharged car. converted it to turbo with a kit. started upgrading pieces. swapped out motors. and eventually wound up with a fully custom setup with programmable ecu. by the end, you realize you could have saved more than a few dollars having jumped right in, but maybe needed the experience of the smaller setups to get there. However along the way you realize that if you had the right tools for the jobs sooner, life would have been so much easier.
