This was my very last brew before a big move. The conical fermenter had been in use for well over a year, but I elected to do a 5 gallon batch just to keep things simple when it came to moving. The beer (now bottled) traveled well inside my utility trailer, and it will be aging in the apartment closet until late summer.

do you see any significant taste difference with kegging vs bottling? ive always bottled because i dont have the space for an extra fridge to convert. I always just wondered if the priming sugar might have an effect on the taste
Priming sugar has very, very little impact on flavor. I prefer to keg because of its simplicity and convenience. I bottled this batch so that it would travel a little easier.
Those videos have effectively scared me away from the concept of all grain brewing, at least for the time being.
Dude, talk about a complex setup. I'd lose my mind if I had so many variables to track during the procedure.
I've got a longggggggggg way to go in my brewing knowledge.
I'm humbled for sure.
Not the intent at all!!! Listen to the concepts rather than focusing on the equipment. All you really need are two kettles in which to heat water (a boil kettle, and a hot liquor tank for the sparge water), a mash tun (cooler with a "strainer" at the bottom), a way to chill the wort, a fermenter, and a bit of patience.
I chose to go WAY over the top with the equipment because I enjoy making gadgets. There's no need to take things to the extreme the way I have.

No doubt about that. I've been brewing for about 15 years, and I've never made it beyond the "two pots and a cooler" stage.
