Hi and welcome to the forum.
The hard way you say,if you've been brewing kits for ten years the only real difference is going to be an additional 4 to 5 hours onto a brewday for mashing, boiling, cooling and transfer or you could just no chill.
Then you'll have to decide what method suits best whether all in one,2 or 3 vessel,boil in a bag and so on but they all end up with the same product and satisfaction.
So welcome aboard....
