I've been doing partial grain using the recipes from NG but I've found they are becoming quite expensive. I think all I need is a good brew pot and a wort chiller and I'll be good to go. I have a cooler that I can use for the mash.
Anybody have good suggestions for a brew pot and a chiller? In a pinch I could ask politely to use Sandy's pot (kettle)
Thanks in advance!

Re: Switching to all grain
If your ok with buying new, the 2 welded port pots Dave sells (everwoodavebrewshop.com) are a pretty good buy.
For a chiller you could just buy a roll of copper tubing and make your own immersion chiller pretty easily.

Re: Switching to all grain
I'd go with a 15g pot if you can afford it - it will allow you to do 5g or 10g batches. Dave and OBK both carry them.
I was using a 50' immersion chiller from hop dawgs. It will work well for both 5g and 10g batches. You can make your own, but to me it wasn't worth the time/effort when compared to the cost of one already built.

Yeah I'll have to buy one, for some reason my dad's handiness didn't pass down to me! Thanks for the suggestions

Re: Switching to all grain
No need to be polite. Gear I have is grossly under used.
I have a Keggel and one of Dave's cheaper pots. I sold my mash tun but have BIAB from Beckey (and Jimmy).
You can use it /split brew with it etc. I still have that Belgian sugar for you.
Beg Margaret and Tasha for a Saturday and I'm in.

we should look at the Grain buy when it comes up and split on some of the "extra" stuff.
