Here is what Ive gathered to be the basic equipment needed to get up and running, the parts Im planning on ordering have been linked...
-airlock: goes in the top of the fermentation barrel, also needs one a seal plug.
-boiling pot: should be 5 gallons(18 litres) and safe to sit on the stove with lid. This I have had a little trouble tracking down, Im planning on looking around a market for a cheap one, finding a decent one on ebay that wont cost a fortune to ship or maybe even just finding something that will work in its place at college...
-bottling bucket:beer is transfered here after fermenting to help reduce sediemnt. Basically, its another food grade plastic bucket with a tap attached to the bottom.
-bottles: not quite sure where to find these yet...
-bottle caps and capper
-fermenting barrel: should be slightly larger than the boiling pot(around 6 gallons(or 22 litres) is good) large plastic barrels work a charm. needs a tight fitting lid!
-measuring cup
-large jar: This I have around the house
-syphon tube and tap
-stirring paddle: anyhting but wood
-thermometer: heat range of 40F to 180F and can sit in boiling water
Total: 25.77
