I'm an extract brewer and have friends that said they'd help me move on to AG when I'm ready. I know it takes extra gear that will cost me, so I haven't really felt like doing yet, but then this happened...
I live next to a soccer complex and every time there is a big tournament a bunch of garbage and crap blows into my yard...usually this pisses me off beyond belief, but a few weeks ago, something blew into my yard that could be of some use.
There was a huge tournament going on and a massive storm blew up out of nowhere...50+ mph winds and the soccer complex emptied out in record time. After everything died down I was out in the yard cleaning up the regular snickers wrappers, McDonalds bags and whatnot. When I noticed, stuck under one of my trees a 5 gallon igloo water cooler. I've seen people use these in AG brewing...I wonder if this is big enough or if I need a bigger one? Also, is it easy to convert a regular water cooler into what I need for AG?
This is what it looks like

What do I need to convert it? And is it cheaper to convert or just buy one meant for brewing?
Sorry about the novel...I like details...haha
P.s. I was going to try and see who it belonged to, but found out almost all the soccer teams were from out of town, so I thought, screw it! I clean up enough of their garbage they leave lying around...finders keepers.
