The Basic Equipment Needed For Home Brewing
Right, you’ve decided (very wisely I might say) to brew your own beer. What basic equipment do you need? As in many processes the equipment can be varied, and indeed complicated. But to start with you do not really need much in the way of equipment.
The first thing to aquire is a large container (mashing vessel). This can be as small as a large soup pot, or as large as you can comfortably handle. A large preserve or stew pan is good. Try a second hand catering supplier, you’ll get a good deal. At the same time, although by no means essential at this stage, see if they have a free standing gas ring which you can use with bottled gas. This means you can brew out in the yard or in the garage.
