Hi all, just putting together my all grain set up this weekend, looking at putting something down next week, want to know if anyone can direct me to a good step by step link or web site that can talk me through the all grain method. Or any good post on the topic on this site.
Cheers

Put up where you are from and there could be someone close that could help you, seriuously though, make sure you understand the process first and the best thing to do is to watch someone else with a little more experience first... It will help alot more, most brewers are very willing to let you come watch a brew day..

Cheers
To be updated shortly....

I have done a couple of 5L all grain brews that have turned out well, just wanted to have a read, make sure I'm not missing anything before going all the way, so if you know of any good links would be much appreciated.

How to Brew by John Palmer, would be a step in the right direction. An in depth article on pretty well all aspects of brewing with a bit of technical stuff thrown in.

If you want to see an excellent example of brewing an AG pilsner, try here:

I will second what CB said - if you can meet up with a local experienced brewer it makes like very easy. I did and it made the process go so much smoother on the 1st one. Hold off on the first beer until the 60 min hop addition. The few times i poured a beer before starting were long and difficult days and the resulting beers paid for it.

Where are you based? Am brewing tomorrow if you are in Adelaide. Welcome to watch/help/ask questions etc
