stepping over to all grain

[charlie_mead_face]

hi guys i've decided to splash out and get everything i need for AG brews. i came up with this list of things i thought i might need and wanted to know if i had missed anything out. Insulated mash tun, Immersion Wort Chiller, Fermentation bin, Boiling pot, 5gal Carboy, Brew belt,Thermometer, Beer padle, Hydrometer, Bottleing bin and maybe a grain mill.
thanks.

nice 1 , make sure you have a few good thermometers , 1 that can handle the mash temps and for getting hot water at correct temps for mash plus 1 for fermenting a cheap 1 from pet shops for fish will do with a probe so you can monitor inside FV whilst fermenting as temp is vital for quality brew , also don't forget your hop strainer for your mash tun and for your boiling pot. And i would recommend using liquid yeast , this can seem expensive at over £ 6 but if you get a demi and some small plastic bottles you can split the yeast by making a large yeast starter then washing yeast etc and split it into 8 vials so cheaper than dried but much better :thumb:
