Sorry, I just figure if I'm going to go into something, I should go into it with THEE best possible decision and THE MOST research I could have. Sorry I was asking questions and "trolling" here. (Didn't think that was what I was doing at all.) (Just was trying to get the most opinions, the most...

Ok, thanks everyone! (Any other ideas/recommendations are still gladly received, always looking for advice.)

I've read up on BIAB, and I've even watched/helped out with a friend doing BIAB, and I really didn't like it (no offense), its just not my type of thing, not the way I want to brew. If I were to buy things individually, whats the best way to go about doing that? Especially to buy it all...

Looking for some recommendations. Whats' the best starter/beginner 5Gal All-Grain kit (assume no equipment already). Budget goal is 200-350$. Whats the best starter/kit/set/etc that you know of from any site? Thanks!

They still had the white 'buds' on the rhizomes/crowns, and the whites also had pink, which I had been told before meant new growth. I potted them yesterday, and they are now inside, in dirt, potted. So I guess we'll see. I had a Cascade rhizome I got last year, that I kept inside a tiny jar...

No other kits/sets recommended?

Uh oh.... hopefully mine will be ok then. I've had them floating in a big bin (fully submerged) since the night I brought them home (exactly a week today). Is there a chance they will survive this?

Is there any kits or anything in the 200-300$ range that anyone REALLY recommends? (For a complete brand new beginner)

I'm just curious, for a brand new beginner, what "start up kits" or "sets" or "whatever" is the best? I've looked over the one mongoose recommended, and it does seem nice, but I'm not super sold on it. (Do like that the price is a lot cheaper than the 600$ obviously). Is there any other...

No other advice?

Ok, thanks for the advice Mongoose. Does anyone else have any advice, or agree with mongoose? Or anything? (No offense mongoose, just looking for as much information/opinions as possible.)

I literally have nothing yet. I started this account to start my research, thats why its "old" (October 2016, 6 months old), been waiting and doing research to start. Finally at the stage where I start/plan on buying things to actually START my brewing.

The carboys are glass carboys from Northern Brewer. The stir plate is StirStarter. The mill is called Malt Mill and gets connected by a drill to crank. For the pots he said their "no name pots, not polarware or anything but in excellent condition".

Ok, I messaged him backing asking what brands the pots, carboys, grain mills, and stir plate are. When I get his return message I'll post it here.

So, a local homebrewer is getting out of the business and selling all of his stuff, here's the deal he's giving me: 10 gal SS pot with trub screen and valve 5 gal SS pot Igloo cooler w/ SS false bottom and sparge arm 5 gal glass carboy 2 - 6 gal glass carboys 3 - corny kegs Grain mill...

Heres the pictures of the hops I got. (The day I got them).

How big were those crowns? These are pretty huge, about 2.5-3 feet around (in total). The roots shooting out from it are very long.

I'm in PA. It was cold Monday, Tuesday when I got it, it was warm, same with Wednesday, and thursday.... and we had snow today. He told me to keep them in water, I currently have them completely submerged in a giant tub in my bathroom right now (nice warm place). Even with the frost/snow out...

So, the other day I meant up with a local homebrewer to get some rhizomes from him that he was giving away. Instead of just chopping up the rhizomes, we ended up digging up the whole plants (he didn't want them anymore), their 3 year old cascades. So I have two rather large rootballs (minus...
