Man, you got way too much time and money on your hands to build all this stuff.
Quit making us all look bad
Not entirely true nickmv.
I own my own businesses and work a lot of hours, so time is at a premium. What little spare time that I do get outside of work, kids activities, family time, etc., I devote to brewing and brewing related projects. It is my stress relief and helps me to keep my sanity.
I have always been the type of person that has a hard time sitting idle and am in constant need of projects to keep me busy. Once I started homebrewing and realized the endless array of potential projects associated with advancing in the craft, it was a match made in heaven for me and I've went at it full bore. Yes, I do have the financial means to tackle these projects, but I am also very economical with how I proceed with them. I have no problem buying used equipment (grain mill, ss brewing table, ss prep. table, ss commercial sink, brewery fixtures, chest freezers, decommissioned sanke kegs, etc.), fabricating my own equipment, and anytime I can recycle old lumber or materials, I do. I rarely purchase anything brand new, so I'm able to complete these projects at a fraction of the cost. I'm like a bloodhound on CL, so if there is something I need for a brewing related project and it's out there, I'll find it. It doesn't take an unlimited supply of cash to build some really nice equipment, if you are ambitious and patient.
