TWOC in Bibra Lake offer good advice, have lots of equipment, grains, partial grain kits etc etc. My gear I got from kmart like others have said stock pots and stainless sieve, some things from eBay measuring beakers and cleaning products. I'm still relatively green at brewing but glad to start...

If they were in WA I'd take them but too hard to post
