Roger that, to the brew-mo:cool:-bill and off the my LHBS I go:cool:

ok so I have three slightly dented but still good sanke kegs from a friend who got them from a brewer in Cali. They are all clean and ready to go. I own a cooler, two 5 gallon BIAB bags, 52 quart pot, 25 quart pot, 6.5 gallon carboy and a burner. This will be my first All Grain attempt and I...
