apologies to the OP for the hijack
No apologies necessary. Im honestly curious what most people are using. Seems like your equipment is larger than where I would need to start. Do you brew batches for beerfests? The homebrews are usually my favorite part of those fests.

5 gallon batches seem to be the standard. If you do BIAB, you will most likely need a larger volume kettle to make up for the water needed from grain absorption/boil off. I had a 10 gallon but switched to a 15 gallon because I would get close to the top of the 10 gallon with certain recipes. TheEstimator helped me enter one of the homebrew competitions last year and I did okay I guess. I would like to enter more but I work a lot.

I do 3 gallon BIAB batches. 3 gallons ~ 1 case of beer. I use a 5 gallon pot on my stove for mashing. Have a 3 gallon PET fermentor. Estimate $50 total for the kettle, fermentor, and bag.
I got a wine fridge off Craigslist for $50 that I use for fermentation temp control. I have my own temp controller but you could get an inkbird for $30-50 (I think).
