Hi. I returned to this hobby last year with the intent of brewing beer kits, and as I needed to travel to England to buy the equipment, I researched in advance and compiled an equipment listing. I thought the list could be of help to those thinking of taking the plunge; I know it would have helped me. Everything I bought I have subsequently used, but I did splash out on Cornies and other extras that could be concidered non-essential. It's been a good 6 months now, so I already picked up any missing extras I felt were needed. Pounds in square brackets.
3x AEB new Cornie kegs, c/w fitted sparkler tap, beer disconnect & S30 valve [130 each]

Gas disconnect [12.50]
Gas line [2]

Hambleton Bard S30 CO2 Cylinder [20]
3x needed John Guest fittings & beer line [26]
More beer line, 18m [21.75]
