Hi all!
After about a dozen or so extract brews I've decided I want to make the leap to all grain brewing, and being that I'm on a shoestring budget I'm slowly collecting the gear. I've got my paddle and burner, and I'll probably begin converting an igloo cooler to a mash tun in a week or so (I have little to no technical know-how, but at least I have a brother who's a manager at a hardware store, so that helps).
Anyway, I guess my biggest question in terms of gear is: do I really need a separate lauter tun? I have my five gallon pot from extract brewing and will almost definitely be batch sparging. Do any of you guys have a similar set up, and if so, how does it work for you all? Any tips, tricks, or advice?
P.S. If anyone knows a good place to get a decently priced ten gallon pot with a ball valve, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance!
