Hello,
I am new to brewing. I currently have my first batch (BB Russian Imperial Stout) bottled. I just ordered a Northern Brewer's Double IPA martial mash kit today. I am looking forward to starting my second batch. As you can tell, i like big beers. I did taste my first batch while bottling. It tasted pretty good. I am guessing it will improve with age, especially considering that it is a stout.
Anyhow, my question is this... how soon does the average brewer get into all grain brewing. I know there's no standard or anything. It's just that i want what every other brewer wants... to brew the best beer possible.
Is there a big notable difference when going from partial mash to all grain? What kind of expenses am i looking at to convert to all grain? I am figuring that i will probably do a bunch of partial mashes first until i can afford to spend the money on the equipment needed for all grain brewing.
