Yeah, I am going to brew one more extract kit this weekend. A clone of Russian River Blind Pig IPA. After that I'm going all grain in a bag, and buying hops/grains in bulk.
I've been looking at the 10 gallon SS Brewtech kettle.
I doubt it will be too long before I'm kegging like you suggest.
Yea, that kettle looks great. At my most interested, I was doing all-grain via batch sparging with a converted ice cooler (didn't have the gear to do fly-sparge) , but I couldn't get the right efficiency. It was very frustrating and time consuming. It was one of those low-efficiency batches that I figured I'd correct it by adding some dried malt extract to the boil. I wound up with 5 gallons of beer syrup - my second worst batch ever.
Worst batch? I tried out a kit for a saison beer. It was missing a spice in the kit called "grains of paradise". Me being impatient decided to google a substitute and came up with... peppercorns. Well, evidently I used too many because I made the nastiest pepper beer anyone has put to their lips.
