  I've got the cooler already, all I've got to do is construct the manifold/false
  bottom....that's when this idea hit me. Just figured I'd run it past all you guys first. I may

  I'm getting ready to do my first all grain batch. I've done quite a bit of reading over the

  almost thinking g...

  At this moment going to a Nitrogen Keg set up isn't going to happen. My local hombrew shop has
  the metal mini kegs with a carbonation setup that uses the small CO2 or N2 cartriges. Althought

  Maltodextrin sounds like a worthy experiment. Sounds like I could boil and ferment in primary

  Okay, I'm now on my 8th batch of extract with seeping grains. I want to work out my consistency
