Spend my $50 for me

[Hokie_Brewer]

I have a $50 visa gift card that I wanna spend on some new equipment.

Just got into all-grain. I've got an DIY immersion chiller, 10gal kettle, 5gal cooler MLT. What should I get next? Thanks

My stove is beast and able to do full boils. In an apartment, so I dont really have the outdoor space.

Spend it on the wife/girlfriend. It'll pay back far more than $50.

get any kegging equipment yet?

Got a mill so you can mill your own grains?

Yup, just bought a 2 tap setup.

One thing i'm considering is a mill. $50 obviously won't buy me a nice Barley Crusher, but could get me a Corona. Is a BC three times as good as a Corona mill? Thoughts?

Add a few bucks to it and get your fermentation temp control setup, if you don't already have it.

Half a tank of gas so you can get to and from the LHBS?

I agree, but that is cheating the criteria.

Oxygen Kit - $49.90 - leaves you .10 to spare.

The other thing is a cheap stir plate, but you can make great beer with properly rehydrated dry yeast. IMO, dry yeast and O2 kit is better than stirplate/liquid yeast with no O2.

Or as stated, the best choice is really to bank the $50 and wait for it to multiply until you can afford temperature control. But be careful, money burns holes when left in pockets.

If you don't already have a new piece of equipment in mind chances are you don't need it. So, how about piecing together a kit from one of the sites wonderful vendors. You'd save a few bucks in the end and you'll get a nice beer out of it.
