SE MI - Keggle brewing system on a budget

[Crossczek]

Hi all,
I've got tons of experiance with wine and (award winning) hard cider, now I want to get into home brew. Because of my cider, I have everything I need to ferment and keg my product. Recently I have come into possesion of (3) 15 gal. kegs that I want to use to brew with. I've done some research and have found it's pretty expenisve to get all things necessary to make a keg brewing set up (SS fittings, welding, false bottoms, pumps, ect).

Any advice for a noob on a budget?

Cheers & thanks in advance,

As far as a bare bones set up using your kegs you can get a turkey fryer, cut the top off of one keg and you have a pot and a burner and can make good beer with extract.

From there you can start to step things up and go electric if you wish, or build a MT and HLT for all grain, but you can move at what pace suits you and still be making beer with extract.

After that the sky's the limit.

Good luck
