But, I subsequently found this forum, managed to get hold of a copy of Graham Wheeler's book and jumped straight back in. Result - AG#2 is conditioning in my shed and tastes the bollocks. Completely different gear to any kit I've ever made.

If I can do that on only my second attempt with very limited knowledge, it can't be that hard. AG#3 is now in the secondary fermenter and I had a sample of that last night and, that too, is different gravy to anything I've produced from a kit.

When the times comes, make the jump. You wont regret it and you'll get all the support you need on here, that's for sure.
Can only agree with this and the other posters, I went from kit to all-grain, I had a few cock ups but not enough to stop me from brewing, it is easy after you get your procedure down.
I can't help but read your posts with an "Arnie" accent :lol: I'll second your point though (lest I get terminated :flip:)
