Well, after 2 months of searching, I finally found a decent 10 gallon cooler. After trying all (and I mean ALL) the typical places in Calgary, I finally spotted three brand new (although dusty) 10 gallon Rubbermaid beverage coolers in my local grocery store, of all places. The clerk couldn't even find a price for them, so I spoke to the manager, and he just wanted to get rid of them, so gave one to me for $35. Woohoo! (The only other store in Calgary that had these wanted over $85 for one!)
Anyways, I have my grain order in, bought a big pot, am completing my SS braid and ball valve attachment right now, and should be ready to brew AG soon! I think my first attempt will be a porter -- my favourite style, and hard to find decent commercial ones up here.
Thanks again to everyone on this site for sharing all the information on how easy this can be. I probably would neverr have even contemplated AG brewing if you guys hadn't educated me on MLT design, SS braids, batch sparging, etc. Cheers!
