* '''Outdoor Propane Burner''' - While it is possible to heat your huge pot over several burners on a stove, it can be quite dangerous moving large amounts of wort around and it also takes a very long time. A high BTU propane burner is relatively cheap and will boil your wort quickly in the driveway or on the back patio with less mess. Don't use it in an enclosed area however!
* '''Gott Style Cooler''' - A water cooler makes the best [[Mash Tun]] for most homebrewers. A 5 gallon cooler can easily be converted to serve as a mash tun and lauter tun - and the insulation will make it very easy to do an infusion [[Mashing|Mash]]. See the [[Mash Tun]] link for details on how to add a false bottom to your cooler.
* '''An Immersion Chiller''' - While not strictly needed, it does take a very long time to cool 5+ gallons of boiling wort without a chiller. '''Cooling''' your beer quickly reduces the risk of infection and also helps many undesirable proteins and tannins to fall out of the beer before ferementation.
