After seeing that the 50 qt ice cubes are $20 a target I got to thinking... (famous last words)
Here's where I am- I have three keggles, two thermometers, two false bottoms three ball valves. I have yet to do an AG (I have two more extract kits on the shelf to brew) I am cheap and wanting to get into kegging. I am wondering if it is worth selling one of my keggles to set up a cooler based mash tun. (I realize that I could insulate the keggle to hold temps better)
I still do not have a full grasp on step infusions but think they could be done in a cooler with a copper coil or steam right? Along this line of thinking is that I would not losing a lot of flexibility in my brewing. The reason driving this move would be money- I think that I could make ~80 bucks to put towards other brew gear if I sold my keggle and burner and got a cooler. Am I wrong?
