What other hardware will I need besides the mash tun/boil pot and a wort chiller? Is it worth it to start growing my own yeast instead of buying it at this point?
You really need to have a separate mush tun and boiler. Most of the "keg" setups I've seen used multiple kegs with each having a separate function, and permanent tubing in between.
