temperature controlled fermentation and whatever equipment/method for o2 free transfers

Anything that can shorten my brew day.
A decent scale to measure hops
A vacuum sealer to be able to store brew day hops by addition times, and to store opened bulk hops for later
Plastic storage bins to keep by fittings organized by size
A container to keep my salts and other dry additions in
Lots of buckets to keep cleaning solution and sanitizing solution
Some sort of CIP setup to clean kegs and fermenters
