Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive. Just enjoy your homebrew :)

I had posted in the "Who's brewing this weekend" thread about doing my first all grain batch last weekend but never updated to how it went, so I figured I'd post up here. Everything went great. The mash tun I built (10 gallon Igloo Cooler) worked very well, and my mash efficiency was 76%...

Really? This is something I have never heard of.

Stainless steel screen. I'll attach a couple pics of the tun I built.
