First Step towards PM/ all grain

I bought a cooler today to make my mash/Lauter tun. Its a five gallon and said on it that it will keep ice for 5 days in 90 degree weather, got it at wal-mart for $25. Figure if it will keep ice near that long it will keep the strike water hot for at least one hour.

Now could someone give me a parts list of all the plumbing parts i need to finish converting this thing over. If so it is greatly appriciated.

All the parts listed in this thread (on the 2-gallon cooler) apply more-or-less to the 5-gallon cooler.

You might want to buy a weldless bulkhead fitting from Northern Brewer (for $15, IIRC); makes for a very clean job.

i absolutely did not come up with this on my own so no credit is due to me at all...but this was an extremely helpful post that i'm sure i'll use down the road when i'm ready...
