Just wondering what you guys would buy if you had $500 to spend. I'm curious what ranks highest on your shopping list. One thing I'm thinking of is an o2 system for oxygenating my wort. Definitely some more carboys as well...
 
Forget the aerator I would say. I pitch my wort onto my yeast from the spout of the carboy, that aerates it enough for me.

Lagerator, kegerator, Huge Boil Pot, and Tons of grain and Hops.

I was thinking of some more bulk grain/hops. I'd like a dual co2 regulator too. Maybe I'll panic and buy many, many bricks of hops...
 
I'd offer Yuri $500 - shipping to build me his crazy steam system, a stir plate, and a couple of other goodies of his.

Or I'd buy $500 worth of Cafepress shirts from your favorite caramel vanilla ale recipe inventor.
 
I think I'm set on more fermenters, bigger MLT, and an o2 system. I scored a keggle from the classifieds so I think I'll move into 11 gallon AG batches :rockin:

edit - Cheese, I just noticed your shirts...I promise I'll buy one asap
 
I would drop the dough into a good mill and grains. That being said, if you don't have it yet....Fermentation temperature control!!!!!
 
Get the remaining hardware and cladding and finish out my chest freezer and kegging system this week!

Maybe in Thailand...

Here in the states, $500 will barely get you through the door at such infamous places as the Bunny Ranch. So I hear...

$500 will get you an entourage in Thailand. Just beware the ladyboys.
 
The smart thing would be to put it towards my credit card...the fun thing would be to get into kegging
 
Kegging system plus kegs, a set of brew belts, lagerater, couple more carboys,

**** I need more than $500

huge ass kegerator, bigger brew pot, bigger burner...
 
As a general rule of thumb, whenever I find I have money burning a hole in my pocket, I like to spend 80% of it on my vices.

The other 20% I waste on stupid stuff.
 
More kegs, fermentation temperature control, taps & shanks, and whatever pittance remains into bulk grain. Plus a mill, if it'll fit.
 
Blow and drinks at a bar with a bunch of fluzies. That'll get you 2 chicks, as long as they think you got more blow....
