As I struggle over keeping my fermentation temps cool I am currently coveting a large chest freezer where I can put my fermentation buckets, set at 62F or so. I was wondering what other home brewers wish they had?
-
I have one temp controlled chest freezer. I'd really like another so I could have a fermentation chamber and a lagering/serving chamber.
But really at this point I think my next big upgrade will be kegging system and a kegerator to serve it from.

It is never ending battle.
Once you get second freezer/fridge you will want the third one.
One for fermenting,
Other for lagering and
third for serving

I have three chests and want one more. My electric bill keeps going up and up... :(

I want a walk in cooler that I can use to store bottles/kegs and as a serving fridge. I think that would keep me satisfied for a while.

Me too :D
A three burner brew-stand on wheels. Another fridge would be nice.

I have two friends that converted old fridges into walk-in coolers in their basements. I guess my dream would be a basement to expand the brewery.;) Truth be told, Mancave/ brewshed. I have the space, just not the capital...

+1 to the mobile brewstand, Brutus 10 style. Currently brewing with one turkey fryer, slowly beginning to aasemble the components for my own Brutus 10, which should greatly increase productivity, since the wife isn't a fan of me brewing inside.

I'd give denny's right arm for a brand new 15bbl system from Premier Stainless.

For me, short of a small walk-in cooler, a commercial "True" Coke fridge would probably do it for me; mainly for cold conditioning since I already have a decent fridge I could dedicate for serving. Right now it pulls double duty and hence, serves my drafts at a considerably colder temperature than I like.

A chiller that'll take the wort from boiling down to pitching temp in about 10 minutes.

During the winter I can get pretty close to that with my IC and WP chiller set up.

In MI, it's called a "Therminator". ;)

-
Now I want another bigger chest freezer for fermenting in...so then I can use my current one for a keezer. Then I want six perliks and to build a 2x8 collar.
-
a garage
-
42 Gallon Blichmann Fermenator with a frost free upright freezer to put it in. Or maybe one of those glass door commercial display freezers.
-
A new liver.
You only have one liver...destroy it wisely!
-
More space to brew and ferment in....and Keith's right arm to replace mine! ;)

Gotta +1 here.
Although with the $ printer it probably wouldn't be a dream any more. ;D

The Winning Powerball or Megamillions winning ticket. and YES, I WOULD open a Brewpub. Gotta offset the income with losses! ;D

Time . . that is the best commodity I could use. I have my setup pretty much the way I want it and like it. But time is the adversary.
-
Glycol chilling system.
-
Well I just bought my first house and it has a big ass garage and a full basement. So I guess having some money to be able to do anything with it would be nice. You know, like brew a beer for the first time in 3 months. :'(

Considering my moving fiasco, I'd be happy with my kegs and CO2 bottles. Besides that, I'm really pretty well set. Maybe a pump, but that's about it.

A walk-in cooler has been mentioned a few times, and I noticed this on ebay:

I could probably cobble something together for a lot less, but this sure looks nice.

That is really nice.

More and better year-round, single-level space for brewing, fermenting and equipment storage. Right now, it's a combo of the garage, patio, and basement laundry room. None of those spaces has everything I need year-round because of weather and other demands for the space.

Brew monkey. I'm sick of cleaning mash tuns. And I really want a pet monkey.

I'm with you on this one. It's not really a "piece of equipment" but a dedicated brewing space would make the brew day a lot easier. It's never a big deal to setup my brewing stuff but there always seems to be more to put away after 6 or 7 hours than I remember getting out. :'(

I'd like a dedicated brewing space as well. I brew in the garage year-round and it works well but I need to set up and break down for each brewing session.

You just need to stop thinking of your garage as a place to put your car!

I'm not the one that needs convincing on that point ;)

We moved in to this house four years ago - there has never been a car in our two-car garage since. And there probably never will be unless SWMBO approves the funds for building a dedicated brewing space. You've got to set the expectations up front - she wants to park in the garage, this is what it's going to take :)

I would love to have a top tier as well as a chest freezer.
