Well... my friends and I have finally started making the transition to AG after about 25 extract batches (only 4-5 or them being kits we didn't develop). I've done some research but am still a little confused on the HLT/later tun area.
So far we have made a mash tun our of a 10gal home depot cooler. Would we need to create another one of similar constuction... or would we use something differnt. A turkey fryer for example. We have one at the moment, but we would be using it for the final stage I'm assuming.
Any suggestions or links to a reference that might explain this step a bit further to me?
I've seen HLT's that look to be the same thing as what we have made as a mash tun... but I'm wondering how well they hold temperature and if it's even actually needed.
