I used a 30l plastic bucket £6 from b&q then 2 kettles from tesco £10, used a ball valve tap also from b&q £7 and a 15mm tank connector £3 from ebay then a mesh bag from ebay was £6 so nothing expensive, now bottled and should be ready in 2 weeks

i went with a safale us-05, it seems to be working well, i can already see its looking a bit clearer already after just a few days, will be dry hopping it with 50gs of simcoe and maybe some of the citra i used but only about 20gs i think

Thanks for the tip, my nearest brew shop is a 45 min drive but it has a really good selection of stuff, still getting my head around the variety of brewing that can be done.
