Well I just saw an interesting video on basicbrewing.com where they did an all grain pumpkin ale indoors by splitting the boil. 2.5 gallons in two 5 gallons pots on the stove. Is there any reason that this method would not work? It would save me a lot of money for the transition to all grain in this method because I would avoid having to buy a 7 gallon pot, propane burner, and a chiller. You could just cool the 2 pots using both sides of the sink or a bathtub and bags of ice. Also, you would avoid having to brew outside and since I live in AZ where it is currently 115 degrees out there it would not be enjoyable to be boiling wort outside.
If this is a viable option for me I may make the jump over to all grain a lot sooner than I thought.
Also. Does anybody know of a place on the web that I could find instructions on how to build a full size mash ton out of a 5 gallon water jug or a large ice chest?
