Who has built from scratch, what did you use, how much did it cost.
I started with a couple of kits for £50 total but didn't get the taste I wanted and added extras to round them out but still not satisfied also I like to learn. So I read and watched hours and hours of YouTube videos ( I became obsessed ) and decided to go full blown all grain. Now the hard part finding the money and equipment (I'm poor not ashamed of it its just a fact of life) it would take a miracle to buy some of this stuff for me anyway so I set myself a challenge how would it actually cost for the bare minimum to produce 5 gallons of drinkable all grain beer.
£70 is the cheapest I could do
30 liter HDPE barrel
2 kettle elements
1 1/2 ball valve
1 6" bazooka
And a BIAB corded bag
Total £50
Then it's just the grains and hops on top
Every thing else I already owned.
From this I have made beers that a local brewery have started to produce this week as samples to market test
WHAT DO YOU HAVE.
