I will start brewing again after 15 years off. Just received my new 12.5 gallon SS conical fermenter and cleaned up all my old equipment. I used to use a 5 gallon bucket with a false bottom, drain line, and a perforated copper 'tee" pipe that mounts to the lid and spins to sparge. It worked great but I read the Sticky link bellow and it looks like it will be too small for a 10 gallon batch. I was also planning to use 2 kettles on a 2 burner set up which may also be a hassle. So what to do to get it right with out spending too much-more?. I found this http://www.brewinternational.com/15...ottom-and-weldless-ss-ball-valve-thermometer/ 15 gallon mash tun for about $240 delivered with false bottom, valve, and thermometer. I am thinking I can mash, use my old spinning sparge pipe in a home made lid with a center hole in it. After sparge drain into 2 of my old 8 gallon kettles, rinse the new 15 gallon and remove the false bottom, then pour back into the 15 and start the boil. Any comments would be appreciated. Also any experience with brew international? Are they a sponsor here? Thanks Dan
