My roommates and I are going to try one all grain batch before August when we have to move to new places away from each other. I've been reading a lot about it, and I think we're going to go for it soon. I do have a lot of questions though. I've read about people brewing on stovetop, where they split the wort up into separate smaller pots, but is that smart, or should I just get a bigger pot and wait a lot longer to reach temps? Kaptain Karma, I'll probably want to use your five gal. pot and your gas stove if that's ok, since you're usually around when I brew anyway, and you're all of a mile away. The other question is about the lauter tun. I hear that you can just drill holes in the bottom of a bucket, and that'll work fine, but won't some grain get through those holes? Should I strain it again through a strainer? Any other info you think I'm obviously uninformed of would be helpful as well.
