I wish I had never bought...

Tap-a-draft - it started leaking on the second batch, dispensing a third of a batch of beer all over the fridge.

A cheap pH meter. Pointless waste of time and money.

I wish I hadn't bought the number of extract kits I did in the first couple years and had gone AG sooner. Some turned out pretty good, but between the "Extract 1.020 Curse" and the "extract twang", I ended up with some beers that are way down the preference list.

I bought way too big of a starter kit when I began. It had two cases of empty bottles, a carboy handle, and some other stuff I never use. Speaking of bottles, I don't know how brewshops sell them, I have more bottles than I'll ever use.

I also bought two half barrel sanke kegs on CL, made one a keggle and the other just takes up space. If I had it to do over I would have just bought a decent 10-15 gal kettle and not converted a keg.
