Just to start conversation and answer my question... I've been brewing extract and specialty grain and have been totally satisfied with the results. Why should I switch to all grain? (Which I plan on doing this weekend.) What are the benefits? (cheaper? better tasting? etc.)

I'm going to start AG brewing. When should you take the OG? When you are about to pitch the yeast? Should you take it when you have 7 gallons of wort before the boil? What do you do if it's too low? Thanks!

fyi, I bottled today, chilled one and tried it. it was really really great. I don't know what was hanging out in the fermenter but apparently it did no harm.

Sorry, I just didn't know where to put this and I couldn't find anything on the web that looked like this/ any explanation.

I left this beer in the primary for 1 week, and then transferred it (carefully) to a secondary, dry hopped and it has remained for a week and 1/2. I found these white "iceberg chunks" today. 1. What is this? 2. Can/Should I still bottle my beer/drink it? 3. Can I siphon around this...
