I'm a college student who has been interested in trying to home brew for awhile. I'm limited in money though and live in an apartment. I was thinking about investing it a cheap mr beer kit but then starting thinking why couldn't I just use a cooler? It seems almost the same as the mr beer setup. Then I seen this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/ and thought about giving it a try. I was wondering why I would even need to modify the cooler though? It seems the same as the mr beer kit? Another problem I have is that the closest homebrew store to me is over an hour away. So can anyone recommend some good sites for ordering all the ingredients ill need?
