Awesome. I'm using a converted keg also, but I only have the one setup as a mash tun/boil kettle right now. I mash in the keg, heat up the sparge water in my old thinwall pot, batch sparge & collect the wort in a clean PET bucket, clean grain out of the mash tun, dump the wort from bucket back into clean kettle, and finally boil in it. It takes me no less than 6 hrs to do a 5gal batch. It's a time consuming and physically tiring PITA, but at the end of 3 weeks it makes beer

While I'm not currently (and probably never will be) at a point where I feel like my current equipment is limiting my ability, I really want to move to a 3 kettle system soon. I'm in the process of planning and acquiring tools & material for a single tier temperature controlled "Brutus 10" type build as I continue to learn and get my process in order.

This isn't mine. I'm not smart enough to figure stuff like this out on my own, so I bought the plans from this guy
