Ok. So considering my journey to the dark side.
I'm looking at equipment and considering either

Or

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACE-BEER-...833736?hash=item339973c708:g:8LwAAOxycgVTiGBA

I've done some reading and someone asked the same question on here but the topic sort of drifted away lol.

What do you guys advise.
Cheers

I have the top one and it's brilliant piece of kit of the price, the second seems a better boiler but you don't get all the other pieces

I'm stuck too between the two. It's the cooler that swings one way and the other way it's not plastic.

Don't fear the plastic...I did over 30 brews with plastic mash tun and boiler without any problems. :)

They look like different items. To me, need both. The first has a chiller and a FV. as well as a starter kit.
The second is your mash tun/ boiler. Both look like a great deal. But if you had kit brewed before, you should have the FV already. The mash tun and controlling the water temp is most important in AG. I'd get the later as well as an Inkbird temp controller and just chill in the sink or tub. But looking at eBay on your side of the world, you guys can get chillers real cheap. If you got the three, you'd be set to loose your social life and never leave your kitchen!!!! Brew head!!!

They are both boilers Japanbrew. Just very different. The plastic isn't insulated.

Chillers are on sale with geterbrew.

Luckily I have a large tea urn for a hlt or boiler for smaller batches

I stand corrected. Now I'm getting the Nike taste out of my mouth!!

I've had permission from the boss to buy the peco option!!

Just received my 'Peco' boiler. Which isn't a Peco. Well it doesn't appear to be.
I've never had one before so not very familiar with them.

What is it then?

Just a plain bucket with a element and plastic party type tap. Looks ok but I have seen others with the logo on.
But it's the same as the image so probably just me whining.
