Converting a cooler to mash tun

[thatguy314]

and anyone wondering why I don't just buy a burner and go full boil right now - I am supposed to be saving money for my wedding in a few months, and if I buy any more brewing stuff right now ( that I can't hide ) my lady is going to kill me. Now I just need to make sure that I am the one who gets the mail on the day my package arrives-she'll never know

If you brew a lot of beer you can make that open bar at the wedding a whole lot cheaper...

Man would I love to do that. Unfortunately, I looked into it and the golf course where we are having the wedding and reception informs me that with their licensing, they absolutely have to provide any alcohol that is served. So bringing in my own is out of the question One thing I was considering is what if I just "gave" them some of my beer as a "gift", and then they just happened to serve that beer at my reception? Anyone with liquor licensing knowledge think this is possible? Or any other way to get around this? I will be pretty bummed to be drinking Budweiser at my wedding reception while some great homebrew sits at home.

- Also, my valve setup arrived today!!! I put everything together and filled my cooler up with water to check for leaks - looks like it is good to go. I am officially ready to mash!
