anybody have a spare cooler mash tun theyre looking to sell? not expecting anything. but it would save me building my own. I did brew in a bag for two batches, but not a fan of trying to hold temperature.

yep, that's my plan tomorrow, and hopefully brew the day after. just though I'd ask here first in case!

I built my cooler mash tun very cheaply. Just used a piece of SS braid from a toilet/sink supply line and used the inner tubing to feed out thru the drain plug. No fittings, just some teflon tape on the vinyl tubing to make a friction fit in the drain hole and a clamp to connect the braid back to the tubing. And a pex plug and clamp on the other end of the SS braid.

I've got a 70qt igloo cooler that was my old mash tun you can have, it's best for doing 10gal batch's but your welcome to it for a homebrew or 2.

Thanks for the offer, LD, but i'm not ready to move up to 10g batches yet. I picked up one of the 20$ coolers, now i have to decide on pvc tubing or a SS braid..
