About This Course

Ready to make the move from extract to all-grain? This course is the perfect introduction to building out your DIY all-grain homebrew system. Learn how to:

  • Select the right propane burner
  • Build your own hot liquor tank and boil kettle with thermometers, valves, whirlpool attachments, and a sight glass
  • Build your own mash tun with a valve and false bottom with a pickup tube
  • Assemble your system with quick-release camlocks


One of the best things about brewing is building your gear. Don't make the mistake that many homebrewers make and waste hundreds of dollars on pots from incorrectly cut and assembled equipment.
