[Primevci]

Its friggin awsome, i did a oatmeal stout and it taste great and i think i understand what extract twang is now by tasting my own all grain "or its in my head" but its smooth no weiredness to it and taste great im so stoked... lacing is great but head retention was kinda like soda pop but i just got done force carbing it so im sure it will settle down in a week.....

Glad to hear it! I am waiting for my first all grain to hurry up and get done. I also did an oatmeal stout, but I have to bottle carb mine since I haven't invested in a keg system yet...

If you don't mind my asking what is your equipment setup since starting AG, did you go the coole route? Keggle? Another pot?

i normally use a 58 qt cooler for a mash tun, but with step-mashes, i have a 1/2 barrel keg

im using a 10 gal water cooler "round" for a mash tun have a 40qt aluminum pot for the boil and use my canning pot for heating sparge water i just batch sparge, i had everything but the mashtun before i got into all grain but found a good deal on cl for the 10gal cooler so i bought 2 lol.. i did also jsut order a barley crusher to control my own crush "should be here monday"...

Wait a second. Are you the guy in Battle Ground selling a bunch of 22 oz bottles on craigslist? If so, you might get a call from me...

Great to hear it turned out so well!!!!! I'll be Kegging my first AG in about 4 days. I can't wait(but I must). After doing AG, I'm hooked. The only DME I'll have anymore will be for yeast starters.
