I ordered a converted keg-kettle yesterday. I made a mash/lauter tun from a cooler I already had with a CPVC manifold and an in-line valve in the high-temp vinyl tubing that exits the tun through a rubber stopper. It's all water tight. (Actually, cutting a 1/2" hole in the rubber stopper was the toughest part. I wanted the manifold to be portable to go in a 34 or 48 Qt cooler, in case I want to do 10 gal batches.)
The keggle cost me about $100...everything else was nickle and dime. I have another cooler with a spigot that I can use as a HLT.
The only problem is that now I've maxed out the beer budget for a little while, so I won't get to try it out for several weeks.
