G'day to all, Finally got my finger out and sorted my fear of 'networking'. good to be here. To be fair i'm not the most prolific user of forums so i apologise in advance. I have recently decided to move up and on to All-Grain after a wee while with extract brewing. I'm completely inexperienced with All-Grain but understand the basics of the process and a wee bit of the chemistry. I have a wee question for you guys n gals out there. Ive converted a chilly bin into a mash tun with a bit of copper pipe and fittings as per John Palmers specs and i am pretty much decided on a Blichmann boiler for my 5 gallon batches. I already have a brew pot which i will use for my HLT after ive transferred the first run of Wort from the mash tun to the Blichmann, then batch sparge. The only thing i am having trouble finding is an immersion chiller. Ive looked at a few websites and although i know how expensive copper pipe is in nz i reckon there must be a cheaper solution? Or am i just a tight arse? Anyway thanks for reading or just skipping through my personal dilemma hope to get some feedback!

Cheers

Thanks to all with their advice on euipment set up etc took a bit of research but got what i needed, i finally brewed my first AG yesterday and after the process and checking my OG and looking at the fermenter i'm feeling pretty damn pleased with myself :) apart from having to rig up a blow off tube this morning, in a slight panic lol My equipment worked well altho a few tweaks wont go amiss.  I used Maris Otter as the base malt and it smells !@#$%n fantastic.  Cheers
