Help me stop spending!

[JonnyD]

Just spent about £500 on new plastic HLT,
SS Bergland Mashtun
SS Bergland boiler
with all fittings. Gutted my brand new HLT is plastic now :cry: but hay ho it will do until it breaks. This hobby is a perfect mix of DIY home projects and science. And at the end of it all you make a beautiful pint! (well maybe). Just need to stop spending and start brewing more : Although I do fancy a brew fridge for larger :hmm:

Best get on ebay....

Wow! Am I pleased I don't live on your planet!

I think thats what is stopping me from going shiny at the moment. That and the fact we rent. Not sure what my landlord would make of a full shiny rig in his garage. I'm gutted because I would love to try it as I'm into making foodie things from scratch. Hey ho I'm happy with the results I get from my kits, and there is enough variety to keep me happy for now

Are you related to my wife by any chance. :hmm:

 

[JonnyD]

its all the little things that add up. my brother-in-law just brought round 25kg of tipple pale malt and hops for a brew day at the weekend. Cant wait to get the yeast starter on on friday. My new set-up should make it much easier (which is why i spent so much), cant wait.

Maybe you need to get a shiny HLT to match :hmm:

Oooh sorry, you said STOP spending :whistle:
