Show Notes:

One of the things that has always blown my mind about homebrewing is just the creativity homebrewers use to make beer. Whether it is out of necessity or frugalness, where there is a will there’s a beer to be made. Today we are talking to Russ and Steve Cooksey a father and son brewing duo that has a very creative system for making all-grain batches with an electric tea urn. We will drill into their system and how they brew when we get back to Homebrewing DIY.
