Hi folks,
I'm looking to get away from extract brewing and move to AG, and I've found this MLT/HLT kit on ebay for what looks like a reasonable price. I was hoping some of you with more experience could weigh in on the following:
1: Does this look like a good product? I've seen more false bottoms than mesh manifold setups and wanted to know if you think this is alright.
2: The seller also has a very similar 5 gallon kit. I don't anticipate doing batches larger than 5 gallons yet, but for only $40 I'm inclined not to limit myself.
3: If I do 5 gallon batches in the bigger cooler will there be enough grain bed to effectively filter the sediment when I sparge?
Here's the link to what I'm considering buying:
15 gallon Mash / Lauter Tun set for homebrewing beer - eBay (item 300265371453 end time Feb-07-09 07:09:25 PST)
Thanks everyone!
