Need to Keep Up the Brewing Momentum!

Now that I've recently brewed again, I really want to keep it up. Ideally, I'd like to get up brew at least once every couple of weeks. That way, I could justify getting a kegging system that I want!

To do this, I'm going to have simplify my brew process somewhat, and invest in additional equipment. Keeping this under reasonable costs is critical. Here are some of the things that I'm thinking I'm going to need.

1. Consolidate my brew equipment. Well, right now it's consolidated in a corner of my laundry room. So every time I brew, I have to drag everything upstairs and set it up in the car port. My dream would be to have a dedicated brewing space in a garage or a shed. The garage will have to wait. A shed however...For some time I was thinking of getting those Rubbermaid plastic sheds (like this) but a) they are not cheap, b) they are reportedly not as easy to build as they look, and c) I really don't have a good place to put it in my yard. What I just thought of was getting the smaller Rubbermaid storage container, putting that in my car port, and keeping all of my equipment there. Of course, I'd still have to bring in the carboys when fermenting, but better that than my entire brewing system.

2.  A better brew pot. This is key. Right now I use an aluminum pot that came with my propane cooker. There's no ball valve or anything...so it's a very manual process (pouring) to transfer both the strike water and the wort. Ideally, I'd get a 15 gallon pot (as depicted), which would open the possibility of doing 10 gallon batches.With a spigot or valve, I could elevate the pot and drain it, at least until I get...
3.  A food grade pump. I have small children, so I'm not crazy about having 5 or so gallons of hot liquid above my head. A pump would enable me to keep everything at the same level. I could pair this with an in-line wort chiller.
4. Water filter. Even though I think our water is fine, I do think using a filter would improve the quality of my beer, especially as I get into lagering.

Those are just for starters, and things which I can see purchasing in the coming year.Of course, I'd like a lautering refigerator and kegerator and conical fermenters, but those things are a little further out.
