I'm debating whether or not i should jump into it. I dont have the equipment to do 5g all grain brewing.. however I can certainly do 2.5 gallon batches which would be sufficient for me. It also seems there will be less 'wasted' if i am terrible at it
looking @ some of the forums it seems about 2lbs of grain to 1 gallon of brew - I'm estimating about 4 lbs of base grain + 1 lb of specialty.. + a hop addition . The grain comes cheap my LHS has bags of it and sells it by the lbs and mills it from there.
I would assume its in my best interest to get a nylon bag? I have a metal Colander that i can let it drip out into the brew pot with as well.
This looks like it will drastically reduce the costs of brewing.
