^This is a decent recipe. I did another hoppier batch of this last Saturday. I boiled over in my kitchen, tho. SWMBO was not amused, so I'm really looking to take the operation outdoors and move to an all grain setup.

Has anyone used a 15 gallon keg with a false bottom for a combination mash tun/brewpot? Do you recommend a setup like this for all grain? What other hardware will I need besides the mash tun/boil pot and a wort chiller? Is it worth it to start growing my own yeast instead of buying it at this point?
