Literally
All day
Ok, maybe not all day
So it turns out, that despite a large amount of online research, most of which says that "brewing at home is easy and fun! See this cooler? POOF! Now its a beer making machine!!"
Yeaaaaaa, not so much
So dozens of small, suggestively named plumbing parts, multiple yards of tubing, 2 coolers, 2 hardware stores and 1 return of 1/2 said parts later we were in business
Sorta
We had 2 coolers and a bucket and we were able to make a mash tun with a false bottom and a wort chiller out of copper piping and a hose (look at me sounding like I know what I'm talking about!)
However, the current challenge is how we are going to hook it up to the bathroom sink. Fitting the brass nipples (giggle) in the holes in the cooler is proving to be a challenge, since the measures may or may not have changed and the seal isn't as solid as we would like.
Time to figure this one out
