As this is not a brewing forum , I won't go into the whole process , system selection ect ect ..

All grain brewing can be as simple or as complex as you wish too get.
A very good way to get into AG is with BIAB , Brew In A Bag
and the brewing forums have heaps of threads / sections covering
all you need ..

A "SMASH " Single Malt And Single Hop brew , is a very good way to learn the flavors
aromas and body that different ingredients impart on your brew. While still getting
good beer to drink ..

A typical session beer of around 4.5% can be brewed in around 3.5 hours.
Go to Wo .. then its just the same as a K+K {Kit & Kilo} , but so so much better .

As with brewing any beer , Temperature control of the fermenting Wort is one
of the biggest factors in the production of a quality beer at the end .

So for arguments sake , say I start a brew sat morning , I'm washed up and packed the brewery stuff away by lunch , with the wort in the fermenting box cooling the last few points . Pitch a yeast onto it sometime before bed ... Come Friday arvo turn the fermenting box down too 2°,  then  sat morning while the brewery is heating up I can keg last weeks brew , wash up the fermenting stuff , knock out another brew , force carb the keg . and sit back Saturday arvo with an all grain beer that is 7 days grain too brain .. 

It can be done and there are plenty of examples of it on the relevant sites . 

Cheers

Has anyone tried refilling one of those 3ltr Tap Kings with home brew beer. I have done, but am yet to open it. Just wondering what others have done for carbonation. I have tried 4 tsp of sugar for secondary fermentation. Hope it works.

Pretty sure you can get an adaptor now for the Tap King, so you can carbonate from either a Soda Stream bottle or homebrew gas bottle.

Have a look at Home Brew on Ebay, there are different kits and adapters to do the job. I keep my Bourbon in a 19lt Keg and use a large soda stream CO2 bottle and regulator to pump it out. Only problem I have is it don't last as long, I seem to overfill the glass.Barnray
