It came out great despite me having a problem with lautering due to it being the first time using my mashtun and not using enough rice hulls for the wheat bll and clogging up pretty bad. I was getting ready to blast the dang cooler with a bird shot load in my 12 gauge and just throw a big funnel under the cooler.
Thats awesome that you 2 could get together and that system smurfe has looks awesome! Im still a little new at AG and need to get Beersmith which can really help you figure things out like the right style and getting a better hold of your system with efficiency and boil off times and stuff.
