All grain

I have been brewing for about 7 years off and on and am ready to try all grain. What is the minimum equip I will need to try it. I am happy with my extract kits but want to step it up. Any good u- tube videos on how too also would be appreciated.

Search BIAB. That should be the least amount of equipment to brew AG

If you don't want to do BIAB, you need a cooler to hold the grain while it mashes, and some form of false bottom / screen to the drain spigot. Oh, and a big spoon helps too for stirring. There are good guides online on how to do AG, though I have no links handy. Best of luck to you though!

Perhaps my next AG batch I will do a "how-to" video. Could be a really fun project!

This is the BIAB I do: http://www.beersmith.com/blog/2009/04/14/brew-in-a-bag-biab-all-grain-beer-brewing/ ...just need a big kettle & a bag.

Yup, that's the one.

Wow, I have been brewing for.......3 weeks. And already have the itch to try all grain! been trolling around here, like an addict for awhile. And watching all the online videos I can find. All grain doesn't seem all that difficult. Although, obviously, my knowledge of all the different grains and flavors they impart and what each will contribute to a brew is extremely minimal. Would it make since to jump into all grain and stick with tried and true recipes to get the process down. I wouldn't think of trying to put together a recipe of my own at this point. Maybe the question is - "how did all you vetrans get started and when did you make the switch to all grain, if that isn't where you started?"
This place is a wealth of useful info!

This is how I got started. http://hbd.org/cascade/dennybrew/

I still use this setup after years of brewing and it works fine. Think I've got ~ $10 in my cooler setup. I started all grain after about 5 extract batches.
