I am going to the local home brew store (Listermann's) to get their extract Trappest Abby Ale kit and my first all grain recipe which I copied from somewhere.
This fellow has a video on you tube:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMHLqnWCNjE]YouTube - Easy All Grain Brewing - Batch Sparge Method[/ame]
where he has made a lautertun from a cooler for under 22 bucks from plastic tubing and a braided toilet supple line. Planes are here: Cheap and Easy Mash Tun
Questions about the video: He just dumps his whole lot of sparg water onto the bed. I thought you had to do this pretty gently and slowly. I was going to buy the Phil's lautertun which has a two bucket system linked by a sparg arm, but if this will work then I think I am good to go.

OK now, What do you think of this Kolesch recipe:
9 lbs. German Pilsen
1 lbs. Weyermann Pale Wheat
1 oz. Tradition pellets (60 min)
1 oz. Hallertau Select whole (30 min)
Safale US-05.
Of course I'll add some rice hulls and Irish Moss
I will not be able to give it a cold Lagering, but my issue of "Brew" says not to worry. True?

Ps: sorry I didn't mean to embed the video, just copy the link. I hope it's alright.
