Hey all, I've been reading up on going AG since that seems to be the way to go for serious home brewers, and it scales much better and opens new possibilities.
I found this site to be good thus far, not sure if anyone else agrees with his thoughts:

My questions:
1. Since I don't have a large enough brewpot yet, could I do a 10 gallon batch by doing everything as a 5 gallon batch, then diluting it to 10 gallons at the last step? Much like the way extract brewing works.
2. What size cooler is recommended? I'm considering getting one of the very large ones just because it might be cheaper in the long run (the ones that are I think ~100 qts).
3. What size brewpot is recommended for a 10 gallon batch?
Thanks in advance!
