this is true..

I think when the time comes (which may be way on down the line) I'll take the "brew your favorite porter and add the extra stuff in secondary" route..


but i always like reading what folks have to offer

thanks team!

will

I used two 2gallon buckets as a mini lauter tun as per Papazian when I was getting ready for AG. You can handle about 5lbs of grain in it. Works like a hot-damn too. For the mash I just did it in a big pot and stuck it in the oven set to 150.

Igloo and rubbermaid make small 1 and 2 gallon coolers. It would probably be pretty easy to convert one with a SS braid into a mini mash tun.

I found this:

Two gallons with a spigot. Just remove the spigot, and replace with SS braid, false bottom, or manifold, and a valve. Would be perfect for only a couple pounds of grain.

I think munich has enough diastatic power to convert itself so, yes that should work in my opinion. Also, I think you can find munich extract now if you look hard enough.

I bet that would work. I also think that you might be able to find that cooler cheaper if you look for sales.
I'm thinking about starting another thread tonight. Lets put our heads together and see if we can make this work for some of the extract brewers that want to try all grain but don't have the time or space to do AG.

EDIT: Sorry about the hijack BREWPASTOR
