What equipment is needed?

Bluezephyr · Sep 8, 2013

Is there a list of all the equipment needed for an all grain set up on here please? Just tried a quick search but maybe not using the right keywords to find a specific thread.

Interested in just working out how much it would cost for a half decent setup.

Any help with sites and links. Thanks in advance : cheers:

BIAB probably the cheapest way to go ,but I'm stuck on extract brewing ATM.

you NEED something to mash the grain in and you NEED something to boil the resultant wort down to fermentable concentration. so you NEED something to measure that (hydrometer)

the mash container and boiler can be the same thing..:) see biab

you can use more equipment, many do, as a quick browse in here will tell you.. it wont necessarily make better beer, but will/should make the process easier.

decent tools for measuring quantities and temps, and something to chill the post boil brew to fermentation temps are common initial upgrades to the very basic kit.

best to get a brew on with the minimum of kit to learn how you like to brew and what will make your brewday better/easier before spending lots you may find a basic biab suits you many do..
