easiest set up would be a 50L pot from a&j trading in the valley fitted with an electric element.
If you want to get some beer down straight away try the mangrove jacks kits in the pouch. Kits are miles above what they used to be and when i tasted one recently i didnt believe it was just a kit. I think the kits come with hops and yeast as well. They are a little more expensive than those ones in the can but they shit all over them in terms of quality. Im 90% sure annerely brew store carries the pouches.

reason i wanted a chiller was i saw on a few vids that after boiling it you need to get it down to a good temp faster the better to avoid infection. just something to chill it to yeast pitching temp. like this
but just enough for what i need. can make it myself dont need to buy it :handgestures-thumbupleft:
would it really be hard to bring it down to temp? But yes im a little concerned about my brewing process. my hygiene with distilling was a hose spraying out the fermenters :))

No Chilling is when you run off into an HDPE cube/jerrycan while the wort is still above 80C and squeeze all the air out, then seal up the lid
because the wort is still close to boiling, it'll pasteurize the insides and kill any residual bugs (as long as it's decently clean)
I've had wort in no chill cubes for near on a year before pouring into the fermenter, no infections
Also ignore the people who say squeezing the bag creates tannins, that's a complete load of crap and has been disproved THOUSANDS of times
Hell, there are commercial brewing systems that pump the grain into plates and squeeze all the goodness out and they have no problems with tannins
