I'd like to attach some equipment to the front of this work bench. How would you attach a wooden side to the front?

Right - so you'd drill the holes through the front of the bench, and tighten them from the back, under the shelving?
 
If you’re looking to avoid drilling trough the stainless I’d bore a hole through a block of wood slightly larger than the legs, cut it in half, glue it back around the legs, and then screw into it.
 
Attach hop filter and chiller, and a couple of pumps.
I'll offer an alternative idea. I have a similar table for a 3 vessel 2 pump system. I added a three tier wire shelving unit under on the lower shelf. My pumps and plate chiller rest on that, plus I use the additional shelving for hoses and other stuff. I trimmed mine slightly to fit. One side of the one I purchased could be cut, the other has I think a threaded inside for the legs. Just an idea. Wood gets dirty, it's porous. You can certainly treat it if you want and it might be cheaper. Something with a drawer might be nice too but I didn't look for anything like that. I also wanted to keep my rig shiny.

I would probably just make a bracket or two out of SS and not use wood at all.
I have some thin SS at home. How would you hang a bracket from the work bench? Sorry - my DIY skills are limited, but I'm willing to learn!
 
I guess I could always cut that piece of SS that I have to size and attach it to the top and bottom of the work bench with SS bolts and nuts.
