First Mash Tun

Once I knew that I really liked to brew I went out and got a cooler to convert to a mash tun.
I wanted to spend as little as possible so I got all the hardware at lowes and only spend 20 bucks on the cooler. I thought I did a nice little job in this and I'm totally glad I did.

My efficiency is in the mid seventies and I think I can get it higher. The only think I would do different is get a cooler next time with a latch. When doing a double brew day I noticed the tun becomes softer and doesn't close all the way.

Here are some pictures of my set up


THE ASSEMBLY

A closer look at the assembly, believe it or not I took all those washers out and left only one because it was leaking.
