I about to kill my keg of pale ale. I have a oatmeal stout ready to go. It is sitting at 62 degrees. I quickly force carbonated my pale, chilled, even though the quick rocking method allows co2 to dissolve into solution better when it is chilled, and started enjoying it a couple hours later...

I have a converted sanke,with a 52q igloo ice cube mash tun. I know I am capable of ten gallon batches, but my 5g bottling bucket is not doing justice for my strike and sparge water. I have a empty 1/4 bbl keg lying around, would converting this be a good idea? I would be using direct fire...

I believe I have alot of chloramine in my city water. I know it does not boil off like chlorine does in the brew pot. I have some campden tablets, but am wondering the best way to take care of the issue. Would a water filter be a better route? I don't want to have to buy 6 gallons of water...

I have a 48q rectangular cooler without a existing spigot. I want to make the leap into all grain without going broke. Would it be possible to drill a hole in this cooler for a spigot so I wouldnt have to siphon out the wort? If so, what would be the best way to go about this?
