    thanks! Same here...I'm having too much fun with extract at the time to change my setup. I brewed with a buddy of mine that does all grain batches and from start up to clean down it took us EIGHT hours!

    I can knock out an extract batch and clean the gear in 3 or 4, then have more time for drinking...

    I'll do an extract with grains from time to time when I'm short of time but I like getting ten gallons for the same price as five gallons of extract and grains.

    I hear ya! That would be the reason for me to switch over (when I do), but right now I don't have the space for a bigger setup. Ten gallon batches would make it worth it... What do you brew in? Keggles?

    All grain is brewed in keggles and 5-gallon extract & grains is brewed in my 32-quart turkey fryer.

    See that's what I'm talkin' about! I'd love to have a batch so big that I need a keggle...

    How long have you been doin' all grain?

    Off and on for 3 years. Most of my stuff was stolen or destroyed in 2009 and I've been rebuilding slowly. My brewery is makeshift right now but right now I'm working on a brewcart.
