First All-Grain batch=first batch ever!

Hey all!

A friend of mine is looking to get started into the wonderful world of brewing. He has a strong desire to start off AG, as it goes with his whole cooking philosophy. I only have 2 batches under my belt, both being extract, so I am way too big of a noob to have any sound advice for him.

Any one have any suggestions for a first-timer? Warnings? Tips? Ideas for a simple mash-tun? I'm sure anything would be appreciated.

Thanks!

have never done all grain yet but i did just build a mash tun out of a coleman xtreme cooler and it couldn't have been easier. just get the cooler, http://www.bargainfittings.com/inde...&keyword=bulkhead&category_id=0&product_id=85 , and http://www.bargainfittings.com/inde...uct&keyword=braid&category_id=0&product_id=96 super easy setup

Simple is BIAB.

I've only done with 1lb for starters. All you need is a kettle big enough for a full boil and a paint strainer bag.
