Upgraded Cooler Mash Tun

 Nothing Fancy but the cooler mash tun I was using was so warped the lid wasn't closing properly so I had to make a new one. This time I chose the round Gott style cooler. I got this one at Lowes, it's made by Rubber made. I used the same hardware from my old Mush Tun which is 1/2 inch. You can however use 5/8 and use the grommet that came with the cooler for the best seal. The best webpage on this is in the Homebrewtalk site. So far I really like it. The screw top keeps the heat in nice. It also take up less table space. My efficiency has been in the low to mid 70s. Usually 73%. One day I might replace this with a direct fire mash tun but for now this works great!
