It's good to see you already know about the investment, and it looks like your going about it the right way, but not wanting to be cheap. Good thinking!! Dude, just jump in. My 2 cents, set up a gravity system, I just use a high legged burner for my HLT, and square igloo cooler for my mash...

The biggest advantage for me is the taste, quality, and the freshness. You have control over all aspects of the beer when doing all grain as opposed to getting pre-made ingredeants. It's a bit of investment, but well worth it after a year or so. My first all grain was the best beer I ever...

Yeah, that sounds like a good deal if the lids and rims are not bent. Clean, sterilize and replace all o rings, you'll never go back to bottling once you've jumped to kegging. Gonna force carb my Hurricane Pale Ale today!!! Quick note get some star San in some water in a spray bottle and...

I get mine thru DME mart. I'm an all grain brewer and use it to up the alcohol level a bit sometimes. Just store it air tight in a cool, dry place.. Hal. :mug:
