Wow! Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better about this. I am usually guilty of over thinking things, especially when it comes to spending money! I will definately be hooking him up with this site once I give him his present. He may already be on it...in that case, this won't be much of a...

Thanks! It is a round cooler, the kind from Home Depot. I read a tutorial using a mesh water supply line with the rubber tubing removed. Is your set up different? I will send you a PM. Thanks!

Well he already bought a cooler 6 mo ago in hopes of doing all grain so at this point I would only need to pay for the parts to convert it which shouldn't be too bad. Perhaps I could just buy him the parts and let him do it so he can enjoy that process. And in the mean time he can try the BIAB.

Thanks for the info on the burner. I will look into it. And yes, it would seem like the best idea to just give him a budget and tell him to buy what he wants/needs but if I know my husband, he will become overwhelmed with guilt and buy nothing or, since he is not sure of what he needs either, he...

Thanks anyway :)

I just checked this out on the Northern brewer site. It had pretty good reviews but I am not sure what I am looking at. If I still have to buy a wort chiller and SS brew pot, is this just a nice Mash tun? I apologize for not knowing more about brewing. I am trying to teach myself everything...

I am in the St Louis area, just across the river in IL actually.

Wow, thanks for all of the links. Now here come some more questions. I do not homebrew myself so these might have obvious answers to most people but not I. The Bayou Classic SS pot, can you brew in it as is or do you need to have the additions like a spigot? As for the burner, can you brew...

Ipot....that's funny! So again I am confused. I would like to save money but don't think I have the time or ability to figure out how to make a Brew pot. Is it better to buy the Blichmann for $250 and save money by making a mash tun ( I think I can do that one). He brews in his spare time...

Definately don't have lots of money to burn and right now I am just trying to figure out what all is needed for all-grain. I know he will need a boil pot but not sure what is best. I know he needs a mash tun which I thought I might try to make and he will need a wort chiller which I could also...

My husband has been brewing with extracts for 10 years and I want to get him a set up for all grain brewing for Christmas. I have read through many threads and it looks like there are lots of people for the 10 gal Blichmann pots and lots against. I have the opportunity to buy a used 10 gal...
