Hi,
Iv never brewed before and I want to jump straight into all grain. I've priced a boiler and cool box mash tun, but it comes to just about the same price as this

But the description isn't that clear and bid is the single page user manual pdf. I know it's just a thermostatic element and a timer/buzzer.
Is it that you add cold water, it heats it to mash temp, holds it for 1hr, then you remove the grain somehow and it then boils the wort?
Would the element burn the brew?
How are the gains removed before boiling?
What about sparging?
If it's all done in the same vessel is it necessary to cool the Wort at all? ?
Can I cool it, add yeast and use this thing as a fermentation vessel? That would be great and reduce infection risk and cleaning.
Please advise /guess, I don't want buyers remorse it's this thing a good buy?
Edit: OK, it seems you line the whole thing with a big filter bag, then pull that out after the mash is done, taking the solids with it. Then just crank it up to boil.
Cheers,
