2Corny kegs, 5#CO2 bottle and regulator (Ebay for $96.00)
Counterflow Chiller ($72.00) (yes I'm gimp why build one when you can buy a better one for the same cost..like I doubt I'd get it right before I spent at least that much) I have a bunch of copper tubing that I ruined before buying my immersion chiller, which will now be a pre-chiller for my counterflow.. I have gone to the Darkside.. next I'll be buying/making mashing equipment and leaving extract behind..
Add another Sabco universal keggle (see my ebay bitch in general chit chat) $99.90
Total $732.25

SWMBO is sooo Going to kill me, most likely slowly and painfully. When the bills come in, the fact $500+ of it was money I saved by quitting smoking (carton a week habit) 6 months ago, will be irrelevant to SWMBO.

I will Change my will to leave all my brewing gear to Walker-san as requested (hate to see it go to waste after my inevitable death)

For those who noticed, the Fridge will hold 8 corneys (2 rows of 3 the lagering ones stacked) so the 4 way manifold is for expansion (ultimate plan 4 serving 4 lagering)

 

[Dude]

Looks like you've got a great brewery coming along bro!

Next time I'm in Omaha I'm stopping in!

SO...NoW I see how Walker keeps his costs down. He convinces other board members to buy too much gear, then when they're dead he inherits their gear.

Shame, Walker. Shame.

no new bottling bucket?

Looks like you've got a great brewery coming along bro!

Next time I'm in Omaha I'm stopping in!

I have 8 cases of beer in bottles left, don't come until July, at that point my keggerator will be operational and we can get loaded on fresh draft! Board folks, especially Military ones are always welcome in my home and to my beer! (There is no rank over a frosty mug!) My Silly Scotch ale is clear as a window, 8.2% abv.. and smooth as a baby's ass.. it is by far the best batch I have brewed and only gets better each week I drink a couple.. If I live out my retirement goal of owning a brew pub, that ale will be my signature drink.

no new bottling bucket?

I am going keg baby! **** a new bottling bucket! Kegs and a beer gun

 

[Caplan]

Shame, Walker. Shame.

It's sad to see his decline. He was such a bright hope once.....

Nice list budbo! You do realise it will change and and be updated. Don't mention that to SWMBO just yet after the ebay thing......

 

[budbo]

I added the ebay thing already..It was a sign from God that I must give up my extract ways and go All Grain.... I am looking at my budget right now..I think the Phil mill will be coming not next payday but the one after

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Wow that's a lot of coin. I'm sure I spent at least as much but it was in bits and pieces so not so noticeable. When's the funeral??

 

[Desert_Sky]

There is much envy in Arizona right now.


Good luck with SWMBO

I see how it is . . . How many times did I have to drag your dead ass along on Altered States' raids all night long durring PoP and Walker gets your gear?!?!?

Fine . . . He can have your gear . . .I call dibs on the beer

Grats man, on the new toys.
I suggest intercepting the mail for the next moth or 2 so maybe you can atleast delay your demise and use your new toys

 

[budbo]

SWMBO is cool about it.. She wants something

 

[Walker]

SO...NoW I see how Walker keeps his costs down. He convinces other board members to buy too much gear, then when they're dead he inherits their gear.

Shame, Walker. Shame.

You're just pissed that you didn't ask him first.

Besides, me and whats-his-face go waaaay back.
