    Hop Burst APA(no bittering addition) - favorite brew so far

    After about 5 extract/steeping batches, I built my mash tun from a 10 gallon HD cooler and ordered a 10 gallon aluminum pot off of Amazon. I think my first mistake was putting vinyl tubing inside the toilet braid. I cut some holes in the hose then slid it in the braid. (more on this later)...
