My one suggestion at this stage of setting up your AG brewery is if you think there's a chance you'll get pretty seriously into it, don't get too small a mash tun at first. I started out with a 15L mash tun but it didn't take me long putting up with overflowing mashes to upgrade to one of those 38L gatorade style coolers. If it means saving up a little while longer, I recommend it as you can do so much more with a larger mash tun.
I agree. Err on the side of big. You can do a small batch with a 'big rig' (my tun holds about 44 L), but not the other way round. As with mash tuns, so with boilers. I have a 50 litre aluminium boiler. I mainly do double batches now (same effort, twice the beer)and I wish I'd paid the extra few $$ for a 70 litre.
