Have I accidentally started the process of upgrading my equipment?

I see you have been affected by KAS ( Kit Aquisitiion Syndrome ). Luckily there is no cure !

It's the 27L one, which is plenty for me (at the moment anyway, who can tell what the future may hold...)

I've justified it to myself based on the cost of all the bits and bobs I'd need to buy, the time it's take to research all the bits and bobs I'd need, and the cost of having to buy more bits and bobs due to the cack handedness that I'd bring to the project...

Sensible strategy. You would wind up here anyway and be considerably poorer for taking the long road . And thats money you can now invest in malt hops and yeast !

Right, I've had a review of my stuff.
At the moment, my Lego collection still exceeds my brewing equipment for storage volume.
I expect this to eventually change if grandkids ever turn up

I can't have a review, cos I don't have any binoculars. Ridiculous state of affairs. I have a few bits to get rid of a braumeister grainfather, several cornies, some stock pots, T500, several IM coils, millions of buckets, and let's not mention 1000's of wine Bottles, at least a dozen tamijohns. Enough gas and regs to inflate an airship
So why... have I just bought a 50litre fermenter?!? Why...
