So I've been reading around here for the last week or so, contemplating what I'll need to make the jump to AG. I've already got a wort chiller (hooray for LHBS gift certificates as wedding gifts!) and a 20 qt. brewpot that I have been using for extract batches. And all of the fermenting, bottling doo-dads and whatnot.
I was thinking I could do this - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/ for the MLT fairly simple. And then I would just need a brewpot with a spigot and some kind of tubing to transfer the liquid from the MLT to the brewpot and then from the brewpot to the fermenter - any suggestions (on the brewpot and what kind of tubing to use?) I really don't trust myself to try a keg conversion on my own, and I don't think I was be able to use my stove top anymore - there's only a 19.5" clearance from the burners to the hood. Anything else that I am forgetting?
Also, I have been doing all of my extract brewing on my kitchen stove, is there any reason folks do with the standalone burners or is is it more to get out of the way of SWMBO?
This site is awesome, I definitely spend way too much of the workday on here some days! Thank you
