I'm moving--slowly--into all-grain. My setup, as it is, allows me to do 5 gallon batches, or if I really want to be daring, 5.5 gallons. Typically, I try to do the latter, because I almost without fail lose a lot of wort to trub and transfers. My transfer mechanism consists of me picking up my kettle and pouring the wort through a strainer funnel. This worked OK for extract batches, but doesn't cut it for AG. I'm losing probably a gallon or so that is just full of crud.
I'm building a keg-based AG system that will use a bazooka screen in the boil kettle. What size batches do you usually attempt? How much do you try to boil? How much do you lose in the transfer to primary?
