The spend can be kept to a minimum, unfortunatly you endup with a unheaththy addiction to eBay, one or two Burco's £20 -£35, a cool box from Wilco's for the mash tun, some plastic plumbing pipe & assorted bits. , £20 for 15m of microbore for the imersion chiller
But the gatthering of the kit is part of the fun, well it is for me
Good luck
Thats me ready for All Grain

What i must admit - school boy error - is that in all the boiled, liquid malt or all grain brews i have done to date - maybe 6-7 i have only added Irish Moss once or twice max- the same bag is ontop the fridge in the kitchen.
All the brews have cleared well & were very drinkable
Any thoughts from the forum?
Does Irish Moss do anything?

I went a bit daft and spent over £400 
That's Despite making my own mashtun and contents(coolbox ) using Daabs instruction and making the Twin Chiller using Gurgeh's thread. I bought 2 Boilers..from H & G...but the biggest expense was buying 2 x Corni's with regulators!!
However, whilst the Corni's are expensive..I must admit they are fantastic and well worth the money!!!

AG 10 gallon brewery from H&G, copper IC and 2nd FV from Leyland, 2 cornies and regulator from Norm, 1 pub gas, a 27 litre Cygnet boiler (HLT) and various other bits and pieces. Still, now I'm actually brewing I'm having great fun!

It cost me about £170 to get started with the H&G 10G kit, plus IC and extra bits and pieces. I picked up three kegs and some buckets for a tenner from ebay, and had a King Keg already from my Wherry kit attempt.
Then I started getting cornies - which was expensive. 6 at £30 each, plus a three way regulator. Pub gas was free though.
Then some erlenmeyer flasks and a stir plate off eBay (£45 all in), then a nordic Optical Thermobox, plus assorted sundries...
I must be on the wrong side of £500 now.
However - I've made over 400 pints of quality beer so far, so even including ingredients, i'm well ahead of the game already, and it's all gravy from now on!
