Howdy all,
I love this forum. When ever I have a brew question I type it in my search engine than scroll until I see one from "HomeBrewTalk". Almost always this place pops up.
So, I am four extract brews in and I decided to leap and move on to All Grain. As far as I see it, for my goals, Extract is Cake Box Baking and I want to be the scratch cook. In charge of it all.
I recently purchased a Burner, I have converted a 10gal Home Depot Beverage cooler and am next looking at purchasing an eight gallon boil kettle. I currently have my 5gal which I am going to use for my HLT/Sparge water, until I can buy another cooler.
I know I will want a Immersion Chiller but I also know that is more of a convenience than a necessity.
I am really pumped to do my first all grain batch. Which my target date is the end of July, on my birthday.
Obviously I am a novice or a "Brew-tard" as I have coined for myself.
Any pointer or information you can pass down to me.
Maybe things you have learned or wish you had known.
I would appreciate.
Hell if your in my area, Spokane Washington, maybe I can even share a few beers along the journey.
Thanks for any help you all can give.
I am going to go back to staring at my half finished equipment list.
