Hmmm. Not *exactly* sure what you really want but I know of a 2 bbl
SS system complete (hot liquior tank, kettle, mashtun, grant, heat
exchanger, pump, burner, paddle, ...). It wont be cheap but it
is nice. It uses NG for heat.
If you are into something smaller, I have a counter flow wort chiller
you can have. 21' copper over garden hose. Perfect for 5-10 gallons.
I can't think of anything else available (just don't ask the SO -
she will find something for you).
Let me know if this is what you want.

>From the January 18, 2003 edition of Politics in Minnesota:
Â…Booze could play a bigger role in this session of the Legislature than
previously thought. Rep. Mark Ourada, (R-Buffalo), has been floating a
proposal that would, among other things, remove the distinction between
3.2 beer and strong beer, which would then allow current 3.2 beer
retailers, including gas stations and grocery stores to sell strong
beer. The early draft of the bill would also relieve municipalities of
their current monopoly on liquor sales within their boundaries. In the
past, efforts to make Minnesota a single beer state have been very
controversial and the focus of intense opposition from the retail liquor
lobby. Other alcohol-related items already expected to be up for
consideration in this session include reduction of the stateÂ’s legal
alcohol limit for drivers to 0.08, and the push by the Minnesota Grocers
to win approval for the sale of wine in grocery stores.
