I know a lot of home brewers end up building there own equiment. Do you have any untraditional brewing equipment that you won’t find at a home brew shop? I really enjoy the engineering aspect of homebrewing; again its what I studied in school and it really fits with the type of person I am. In order to brew on a small stovetop, I built a powerful electric ‘heatstick’ which uses a home water heater element to boil the wort. It is terrifying and awesome at the same time. I have also built a stir plate to prepare yeast starters (http://www.beertastic.org/homebrew/2009/dyi-stir-plate/). The most unique thing I have built is a custom fermentation temperature controller with the help of my dad. He happened to have some parts ‘laying around’ so I got a powerful tool for only a couple bucks. (http://www.beertastic.org/homebrew/2009/dyi-temperature-controller/).
