My equipment list! What am I missing?

For $50 plus shipping you can get a stainless steel wort chiller already made up with the fittings and all from Stainless Steel Immersion Wort Chiller

It's only 25 feet. Which aren't very effective in a full boil. It'll cool, but it'll take longer than a 50 foot. Plus, copper is a way better conductor. And they say copper is good nutrient for the yeast. So with a 50 foot copper one it cools better and quicker, and provides nutrient. Go with the copper

+1 for vinator and the biggest bottle tree you can find.

Alright. Off to grab food and prepare the all grain brew night. I'll report back

After a cold night of brewing, pretty much everything that would make life easier is already in this thread.

Good luck man.

I didn't see mention of a thermometer for measuring the temperature of the wort while steeping grains. (sorry if it was there) If you don't steep grains initially you soon will.

Ask all your friends to save you bottles. Unless you keg you will soon need more. Saved ones are free. You will need 50-55 each batch. I have 3 batches conditioning right now and another to be bottled this week and another for next week.

And if you can purchase one or a couple, milk crates are awesome.

They can also boost your bottling bucket up about a foot to make bottling a little easier.

Here's the test cylinder I bought: Plastic Test Jar // Brewmasters Warehouse

Promo Code: BNARMY

It's a little wider than it needs to be, but it works.

I put my bottling bucket on the counter above my dishwasher. Open the dishwasher (preferably empty or with dirty dishes in it), and the door will catch any drips as you bottle.

Something tells me this is a dangerous question to ask this close to the holidays

Just wanted to say thanks again, this thread really helped me out a lot. I am still sifting through all the information and reading about each thing that was recommended.

I'm trying to find out what I really need and what I can get in the future to keep costs reasonable
