I just thought i'd share my surprise....
A recent clean out of my shed had me suddenly realise I am only a mash tun short of a 3V system.
All I need is a mash tun and heat source (gas/electric??) a bit of plumbing and I have the makings of a possibly the cheapest 3V system ever.
A combination of being a tightarse and avoiding having to explain spending on brew stuff to SWMBO will see me poke around at garage sales etc to get the esky and other bits for next to nothing if I can... but it isnt that far away and I just might get there.
I did find an esky on hard rubbish yesterday but it didnt have the lid (so I left it there).
In the mean time i will keep on BIABing.
Cheers

- 26ltr Birko (currently used for BIAB) cost me $20 = HLT
- 50l (legally aquired)Keg cost me nothing = Keggle
- March pump I picked up for $15 at a market knowing it would be handy one day.
- Found a tempered glass saucepan lid on hard rubbish that will fit the Keggle.
- Even found a braided hose that will make a manifold for the mash tun.
