Hi, it's been about 15 years since I brewed my last beer but I'm about to give it a go again. I used to only brew all grain and I find I have forgotten everything I once knew and Have been doing a lot of brush up.
When I learned how to do it I seem to remember being taught to do the mash right in my pot over the stuff. I just kind of stayed with the covered pot, watching the temperature closely and adjusting the gas as needed. But every single tutorial I have come across suggests that I should use a beverage cooler. I can see how this would be easier but I'm wondering how necessary it is...
Is there a problem with running the mash in a pot over the stuff and then sparking in a bucket?
