Postman- I hear you man- I have AG equipment and most often do Heavy PM (5lbs+ of grain) simply because my 1year old is not interested in my being busy for hours on end. I suggest you consider doing what I do- and use just one or two pounds of DME- and the rest grain- which means that you can get away with Not doing a full boil- which means that you don't have to chill 5 gal or wort, etc. I just use a 5gal cooler- that I converted to a mash tun with a procedure I learned here- mash while I prep/sanitize everything-etc. It only adds an hour to your extract routine. The difference- in my opinion is HUGE. And you get play around with different grains- etc. I love it. Plus- after you get the cooler squared away- you are saving about one third of so on your current price per batch.
Yup.
