Your best investments?

Post by tellis » Wed Sep 09, 2015 11:07 pm

Hi all,

As I'm moving countries I'm selling off my old gear plan to replace it when I'm settled.
I'm looking on this as an opportunity to spend a bit more than the first time around and upgrade my all-grain set up, so I was wondering what people's opinions are on the most worthwhile areas to spend a bit more on? Or were most people's upgrades just a question of increasing capacity?

I've also established that beer in the shops here (Sweden) is max 3.5% in shops and seven quid in pubs, so never has the matter of home brewing been more urgent!
