This is not a hobby where you save money.

After seeing Blichmann's setup at NHC, I played around with seeing how much a complete setup for a 10 gallon system would be with the Top tier, 15 gallon kettles, pumps, and the Tower of Power, etc.

Yup...not saving any money here. But then again, I put myself through college...so can my son. :mrgreen:

Not to mention I've attended my first NHC this past year and don't plan on missing another one. Adding that to the list.
