I thought I did but once cry once. Now I’m looking at an electric three vessel system that will have a permanent place and a brewery. And neither of the costs are associated

Awesome! Please post your electric 3 vessel project on HBT.
I thought about going in the electric direction, I’m just not certain we will be in this house for more than a couple years & can’t justify the cost of running 220 up to my garage or exhausting air out of my basement.
5 years from now if I’m half obsessed with this hobby as I am today I would love to take a look at your build thread!
 
Following feedback from experts here, I went all in! “Buy once and cry once” right? [emoji51]
Went from stove top & 5 gallon kettle to 15 gallon mega pot and Edelmetall burner with leg extensions. (Can’t complain got a great deal on the whole package)
I brewed my first all grain “MIAB” 2 weeks ago, it killed me to spend ~6 hours brewing for 2.5 gallons of beer...
Also thanks to @FuzzyIguana who posted an amazon recommendation for a 50’ SS wort chiller for $50 which should complete my brewing setup.
Next step is either grain mill or SS fermentation? I also need to finalize a solution for heating my fermentation freezer, keep heat mat on carboy or something else?
Loving this hobby! Thanks everyone for the support.

Congratulations on the new setup! That's a nice looking kettle ya got there. [emoji482]
 
Got my Inkbird thermometer today and did a calibration test against my Javelin. The Javelin is more accurate, especially on the low end. 32.4 in an insulated cup filled with ice water while the Inkbird was 30.2
In boiling water Inkbird was 205 vs 204 on the Javelin. Close, quick read, but not quite as accurate as I hoped. So no, a $10 Inkbird will not replace a Thermapen! But a $25 Javelin is closer. Anyone have a Javelin Pro?

Floor corker from Label Peelers. I can't wait to Cork in cage the tripel and quad I brewed.
 
Got an Inkbird Temperature controller and a drip tray. The rest of my goodies will arrive tomorrow. Excitement is intensifying.
 
Starting to gather equipment for all grain. Also another ball valve and bazooka came for my kettle.

Big thanks to @wilserbrewer. I ordered a new 11 gallon bag and he threw in a hop boil bag, and 2 dry hop bags. These things look to be of great quality! I can't wait to carve out some brew time and make use of them.
 
I received my Wilserbrewer gear for winning the Super Bowl contest! Everything looks top notch! And fast shipping too! Thanks again to Wilser for running the contest!
 
Priming sugar, DME for starters, spring loaded bottling wand, (got sick of the cheapie that dripped) bottle caps and Starsan.

Just restocking.
