Well, I've been doing lots of reading about AG brewing recently and it's convinced me to take the plunge:rockin:. I've only been brewing for about 6 months and have been wanting to do partial mash, but it seems like very little work and much better reward to skip it and go directly to AG. From my understanding, it seems to me that the only thing I need is
-a 10 gallon cooler (I'll convert it myself)
-a larger brewpot (I was thinking in the 7.5 gallon range)
I'm brewing in an apartment on my stove, but it has had no problem at all getting nearly 5 gallons of water up to a strong rolling boil, so I'm not expecting it to be too much of a problem for full volume boils. I already have an immersion chiller.
Am I missing something? Or is it really this simple to get started.
P.S. Is something like this
sufficient for aerating the wort?
Also, any suggestions on where to find the size brewpot I need without breaking the bank?
Oops, here is what I have for wine. Is it also useable for aerating the wort?? http://www.homebrewery.com/images/mixstir.jpg
