Minimalist Homebrewing

[GPP33]

Actually come to think of it, yeast starters make my brew day a little less minimal. Back before I used them I was better in this area but my beer wasn't.

Thanks to all for these great replies. There really seem to be a lot of homebrewers keepin it minimal.

I have converted Amazon gift cards into the basic all grain equipment. A nice 15 gallon kettle, a starter kit with bottling bucket and fermentor. I found a beat-up cooler mash-tun in the bone yard back room of my LHBS for $20. I think almost anyone could do extract with what they already have laying around plus ingredients (OK, and maybe a hydrometer). I don't have room for a kegerator and the associated equipment, so I will probably always be a bottler.
