Just like Sam75, Ive finally decided to do it! After reading all the comments here, then reviewing John Palmers how to, as well as some other reading, Ive decided to take the first step into all-grain brewing. I'd really hoped to see it done first-hand, but never got the opportunity. And I just can't wait!
Ill be using my current 20 qt. brewpot as my sparge water pot. Im going to a restaurant supply house near me this Saturday to purchase their AL-SP-40 40 qt. wort brew pot. (They have them on sale until July 7th!)
Tomorrow, Im purchasing this Coleman 36 qt. cooler.
And Ill be outfitting it exactly as it is pictured in the top photo here, with a slotted CPVC manifold.
I already have a homemade wort chiller, but will probably construct a new, larger one. I also do not have a grain mill or a propane burner. My gas oven is modern and may work, but I think a propane burner will be much more effecient. So, those will have to be ordered.
Ill probably be doing my last extract batch this weekend and my first AG the next. Im pumped and ecstatic!
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!
