Please help me move to all grain

Yeah, ...go big.

i have an 8 gallon kettle and will vouch for the fighting boil overs comment. i baby sit my kettle with a spray bottle in hand and the other hand on the propane valve for the first 20mins of my boils.

I would consider a 10g brew pot.

Am I the only one who first read this as 'ten grams' instead of 'ten gallons'? Now I can't get the idea of brewing a few drops of beer in a thimble out of my head :fro:.

This guy has a neat idea.

I was just going to post this. I started out with a turkey fryer kit from bass pro with a 7.5 gallon pot. when I went all-grain I bought a 10 gal cooler and a braided hose to make my mash tun.

i got that same fryer and burner at bass pro! I added a steel ball valve to the pot and it works great! Just gotta be careful as you approach boil point during full boils so it doesn't foam over

finding them stainless steel thimbles is a real problem plus you need that micro propane burner setup .

Also, I do not recommend BIAB using 10g. Sometimes they are hard to find if dropped.

where can I buy one of them thimble brew pots ? I need to cut back on the amount of beer I drink and this would help . Do they sell micro beer mugs to go along with it ?

I use this one

The markings let me know when its just a thimble full

sweet!

After cold crashing that black sweet rice wine it tastes better yet . If you like grape wines then you would probably like this . it has a grape flavor , rather weak flavor but definitely much better tasting than the white wine . I will make more of this I think

edit : I just tried this without drinking anything else first . It tastes like cranberry juice not grape . Like some white wine mixed with a little cranberry . Not bad . I am not a big cranberry or grape fan but it is drinkable .
