This is a 10 gal RIMS system I made for a friend of mine.. Whole grain brewing is nice, but it takes up a lot of real estate.. I prefer partial grain/extract brewing myself, having done whole grain brewing for awhile...
I like using Alexanders Pale Malt extract as a base and mashing the other half of the kettle with grains.. Alexanders is apparently the most transparent extract out there...works very well in partial mash recipes..
To hot to brew now though... even though I have a root cellar I can Lager in... the boils are to hot..
