I started out with very basic equipment in the kitchen but it soon exploded into an orgy of homebuilt brewing paraphernalia (as all of my new hobbies tend to do...)! Recently I have sold all of that off and bought a self-contained brewing unit, a Brewie. It even has its own WiFi... I'm concentrating on the recipes now, not trying to get the tech working! There might be a post about this experience somewhere in there...🤔
