So when should I make the move to AG and what other equipment do I need for this?
Thanks.....
Thanks.....
A 10 gallon mash tun and a 7.5 gallon pot with the capability to boil 5-7 gallons of wort.
is nutz-deep knee-deep^2?
I'd suggest going bigger on the brew kettle to a 15.5 gal converted keg or a 20 gallon kettle. That way you can do 10-11 gallon batches in the future when you decide you want more beer without having farted away money on a 10 gallon kettle.
I suppose it depends on how well endowed you are
I'm doing my 1st AG batch this weekend, as long as we don't get another blizzard.
I picked up a 10gal rubbermaid from HD, and got my fittings on order from weldlessfittings.com. Dave was great to work with, and answered all my noob questions. I've only done two extract batches, but I've attended a local gathering of brewers from this site (MD Brewers) and watched a few guys do it.
If you have the opportunity, get together with someone who is set up for AG, and do a brew day with them. It raised my confidence level. That being said, I'm sure to screw up my first attempt, but that's what noobs do!

This is what I think I'll do. I'd like to see someone do it while I drink beer and watch..........:rockin: then I think I can repeat the process.
