I wouldnt say I'm cheap(my wife does though,lol) probably directly relates to how I was raised in the 70s and 80s. Dad was a blue collar worker and we had a lot of times growing up when we just had to make due and live within our means. Frugal is more like it. Waste not, want not. Reuse, repurpose, recycle... I mean why would anyone pay more than they need to for anything or be disposable? I could open up my checkbook or flip out the credit card and buy whatever I want but I have to be responsible...I still have other financial commitments . I could have bought a grainfather or something along that line, instead I chose to build my simplistic but very effective brew rig on the cheap. I took the parts from a small apartment sized electric stove and built my gravity 3 tier rig. It works . If it ain't broke, don't fix it type of thinking. Better yet, Improvisation.
My daughter likes to buy herself expensive purses ($300+)on credit to impress people she doesnt know and have nothing to put in it. My wife (not my daughters mother)is NOT a purse girl, rather have a cheap one and have money to put in it.
So, are you brewing to make beer for your own enjoyment or buying equipment to impress people?
Just my $0.01 because I'm too cheap to give you my $0.02 ,lol.
