Been brewing extract and some partial on and off for years. Last year in expectation of moving to Hawaii I sold all my equipment. My equipment was the typical collection of gear that started with a two bucket beginner kit with miscellaneous additions over the years. Well, the Hawaii move didn't happen and I took advantage of starting over to build my system knowing what I wanted for the most part, and moving to all grain. Bought a turkey fryer and added a valve and thermometer. Mash tun out of a 30 qt cooler with a bazooka and valve. FastFerment conical. Just created my first batch Sunday, Juicy Bits NEIPA and I must say I found mashing to be less work than messing with mixing dry extract into a pot of boiling water. My fear of all grain is gone!
