So I'm trying to get my AG setup complete for as cheap as possible, for starters. I gota 10 gallon aluminum pot on the way, and I plan on purchasing a 10 gallon cooler to use as a mash tun. Some people recommend spending the mash tun money on a wort chiller and doing BIAB, but I'm not so sure if I want to go that route. Anywho, my question concerns the transfer of the strike water to the mash tun: the water will be hot, and my pot doesn't have a drain on it, so whats the best way to do this? Am I going to have to spend money on a heavy-duty siphon, or are there other tricks? FYI I will be using my 10 gallon pot to heat the strike water, and then boiling in it afterwards. I see on here that a lot of people have a separate pot for heating up the strike water: what is the reason for this? I don't see the convenience, as you still have a 1 hour mash to wait for before you're ready to boil.
