What I'm shooting for

I'm starting up with the intention of:

• All-grain brewing
• 5 gallon batches
• Kegging, not bottling

I'm starting with all-grain even though it's not what most people recommend for beginners. I'm not exactly sure why people say that, though - I have watched several tutorials on YouTube and the process, while tedious looking at times, seems simple enough to follow. I'll post some links to the tutorials I found most educational.

Why kegs? It's always been a desire of mine to have draft beer in the house, and after looking into the kegging process it seems like it's an ideal way to realize that desire. I have a chest freezer that I want to convert into a "kegerator" eventually. Right now it's just going to be a temperature-controlled keg cooler.
