Well I did a little drinking last Friday night and decided that I was ready to go all grain so I logged on to northern brewer and ordered 5 all grain kits. Well I have since been trying to get all my equipment together. I have watched youtube on building mash tuns and adding ball velves to kettles. I got my grains yesterday and now I am freaking out. I was wondering if a moment of extract consumsion has led others to all grain brewing?

Ahh, drunken purchases. Nice! I remember after watching Purdue lose to Duke in the 2010 NCAA tournament, and drinking 3 pints of barrel-aged imperial stout, I needed something to cheer me up. A few days later, 4 pounds of hops arrived on my doorstep!
You're going to be fine, and you'll never look back once you hit all grain. Just take your time and do your homework. It's no where near as intimidating as some people make it.

This site is a great resource in making the jump.

4lbs of hops! That is a TON of IPAs....
I bought this crazy fermenter and luckily was able to cancel when I finally realized (after a few days) that I did it!
And AG is the best. Along with this site and you will be set.

Youtube mash tun and the first video is the best, I copied their exact supplies and made a great mashtun outta an old cooler, all grain is not hard and really is easier to boil because of less worry of caramelization. But usually you **** up a batch and learn, but hey when it cost you money you learn fast!

Youtube is a homebrewers dream, I've watched so many youtube videos id put it on a head brewmaster resumé if I were to apply! They really teach you a lot, and what better way than to watch it, not read it, reading can cause misinterpretations and usually the video maker is so indepth they leave no room for confusion
