Lautering Can

In addition to being a pretty good cheap beer, a can of Peter's Brand came in handy when I was lautering to the kettle yesterday. I simply cut the top off, poked a couple dozen little holes around the bottom, and stuck it into the mash when I was ready to transfer (sanitized, of course!). I did have to tape the racking cane to the mash pot handle and with some siphoning issues it took me awhile to fill the kettle pot, but otherwise it worked splendidly! And it's a very inexpensive way to clarify your wort.
