I have been home brewing kits for a couple of years now and am looking to get a bit more equipment, so thought I would ask what peoples preferences are.
I have:
FV, I only have one which has a tap and bottling wand.
PB which isnt very good, I've bought a new tap and will try it again but the last time I had to move it to bottles
Bottles - 80 PET bottles
Heat belt on a STC 1000 and an as yet unused fridge until my next brew
Hydrometer
I am planning on getting a 2nd FV so I can rack to a secondary and choices are bucket or wide necked, tap or siphon?
Bottles, corny keg, mini keg or barrels? I'm reasonably happy with PET bottles but not sure what to add. I know there are threads on these so the question is not about the +'s and -'s on each, just a straight whats best.
If I go to glass bottles I will need a capper as well. Is it worth the extra for a bench capper or is a twin leaver one just as good?
And when an inheritance comes through Im waiting for I will be getting a grainfather or similar, maybe the bulldog brewer as its a lot cheaper.
What would I be best of spending a little bit on until I make the big purchase?
