Congratulations! If you like the idea of trying all-grain, go for it. The extra equipment actually needed is pretty minimal, and once you find how much flexibility you gain you're unlikely to want to go back to extract. That's how it was for me anyway. Having started with a "Beer Machine", I've been doing all-grain half-batches and kegging in an apartment galley for quite a while now. If you are [as the wort pouring image suggests] transferring your wort without cooling it, I'd suggest a homemade immersion chiller as a cheap and useful upgrade. Palmer covers them, IIRC. cheers Derek
