Thanks for the nice compliment : ) IDK if I am more clear on what to get at this point or as confused as ever. I don't want to buy a mash tun that is premade because it is crazy expensive as opposed to the diy approach. I can get the cooler at target for ~$45, and the rest of the supplies for it...
